Roland MKS-80 Notes
The two boards are called Upper and Lower and can have completely independent settings. The Patch Editor
can address these separately or simultaneously via the Upper/Lower Select Button.
All controls not marked GLOBAL will only effect the selected Tone Board (Upper or Lower) and the non selected
Tone Board will remain unchanged. Global commands will effect both voice boards on any page.
The VCO Range controls on the MKS-80 are variable controls. These have been placed on the Tune controls (4)
(18) on the Patch Editor.
The MKS-80 does not have a separate Noise Source as the Oscillator 2 Waveform Select Control (16) is used so
the Noise Level Control (10) has been used for the Manual Cross Modulation control.

MKS-80 the High Pass Filter is a continuous control so the HPF cutoff control has been placed
on the Osc 2 PW slider (17) (which is not required for the MKS-80 synthesizer).
