Circuit Overview:
     A great analog subtractive synth with 'memory' which amounts to miniature versions of the non-global parameter sliders X4, and presets with typical old school technology. Just a lot of it! Nice Ring mod and overall filter adjustments and the classic pitch ribbon controller!

Service Tips:
     Typical problems in CS series are power supply over voltages which blow tantalum capacitors and they short, or the caps just fail over the years. During this various chips may be taken out. I've seen LFO chip, VCA's and dac comparator fail so they might be most susceptable. In the CS-80 many other things happen. Definitely check out Old Crow's site for a great overview.

Parts:
I believe I should have any electronic part or keys for these save exact transformer, etc. Ask if you have need.
