Hi everyone, I just joined this forum because I have a Polysix that is about an inch away from working perfectly. I love the sound of this synth and I would...
Yep. I bought it used and it looks like it had the battery leak problem and someone fixed it up very nicely... If you know of common problems that occur after...
well what you're describing could easily be from the battery damage. maybe "tuning to itself" could mean calibrate it. you can find the instructions to...
I know the site. I'll give it a try. I'll have to find an oscilloscope somehow, I guess. If it is from the battery damage, is it usually repairable? I know...
i think everything can be replaced. i've replaced quite a few ICs in mine (it still doesn't work 100% though). the traces are repairable (you just jumper them)...
