Super recommended!

Hey @patrickwichrowski, considering your heavy-duty knowledge of synths, do you know the story behind why the dev might have called this synth Unstable? Was the CS-80 known to be unstable in some way? I was not previously aware of that, if that’s the case.

 

The Yamaha CS-80 was the tunning nightmare. It has some design flaws that obliged users to made some modifications to make it more reliable.

 

– Warm the unit up for an hour in a room with stable temperature. Get a large towel or something similar so that you can try to keep the temperature inside from drastic swings. Once you open this up, the temperature will drop, so using a big towel to cover up the areas that you aren’t working on will help a bit. This might be more hassle than it’s worth if attempted on your first try, but once you’ve done it, you’ll appreciate how sensitive the tuning is to temperatures.
