Hi Gil (and others), I've just received the button caps I bought from Gil. Thank you very much. Until you offered, I had pretty much given up on these. Also...
Hello, I have recently acquired a Korg Polysix and am now in the process of fixing it up. Luckily the battery problem was already done by the previous owner,...
I would check the 'repaired' board. On mine I repaired it myself, the symptoms were various knobs not doing 'anything' to the sound. It was the quad and gate...
Hi Paul, Before you do anything else make sure that pin 1 of IC7 swings between -5v and +5v (or thereabouts) as you turn the EG knob clockwise. Cheers, Andy ...
Hello, I did not use my Poly6 for some years. When I want to use the Poly6 now, I have to turn the power on and wait for about 4 hours. The Polysix has to...
First open it up and check for battery leakage. ... From: oseite To: PolySix@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 4:30 AM Subject: [PolySix]...
Thanks for the quick replies! After reading the manual I got more insight as to how tweaking works for this synth. I found out that while tweaking knobs it...
Oliver, When you say it 'sounds bad' what do you mean? Out of tune, dysfunctional, distorted, etc? It is common for a 'board of this vintage to take around 30 ...
Hi! If your Polysix still has the original big blue Varta Ni-Cad battery on the main processor board, it NEEDS to be changed, ASAP. Those batteries are Time...
I have been working off and on at fixing my battery issue for the past few months...replacing parts etc. I have not been able to get ANY sound from the poly...
Did you try putting it in manual mode and tweaking the controls? (I'd assume yes of course after such a time). Can you hear any of the effects coming out of...
Hi, Might I suggest, before you do anything else, check the continuity of the tracks that form data bus D00-D07. Pay particular attention to the area around...
Hi! Yes, my Polysix has the original blue Varta Ni-Cad battery. I will change it next weekend. I recorded some different programs. You find the file "warming...
Hi Oliver, Do you have or know someone who owns an oscilloscope? I have just downloaded your files and listened to them. As an example I picked the 'cold' file...
Hi Paul, I watched your vid and it seems like your ADSR Env. is working properly. If you want the patch to sound immediately upon pressing a key, you want the...
Thanks for the tip on this, I checked all the related traces from D00-D07, and they check out fine. The CPU visually appears to be ok, and I have checked all...
Firstly, I got my polysix off craigslist in its current, broken state, with little history about use or previous damage. The problems from the get go are:...
well, let's see. So when you press keys the voice channels don't cycle through (in poly mode) from left to right - shown by the diodes (I think lower down -...
I had to replace IC 25 and IC 23 to get my polsyix working. Erratic light movement, noise on outputs, erratic control response. Turned out there were some bad...
Mack, Do you own or can you lay your hands on a logic probe or oscilloscope? You will find your life so much easier of you have such a thing to hand. If you ...
Hi Andy, unfortunately, I have no Oscilloscope. Yesterday I have developed the blue Varta battery and have soldered a substitute. That took me 5 minutes. I am...
