Some of the BonzoPak instruments have a "CS" version. I couldn't find any information on it and I can't puzzle out what it means. What does it mean? I'll get myself good an pre-embarrassed because it's probably really obvious. :oops:

CS=Close Stereo

The normal recording mode for Jamstix samples includes a mono close mike and two room mics for a stereo ambience signal. The CS version of a sound uses two close mikes for a stereo close signal. This way you can have a sound in three ways:

1) Close mike mono (just turn ambience to zero)
2) Close mike mono/stereo ambience (default sound)
3) Close stereo (intimate but full-bodied sound)
