Hi all, i get a second hand polysix (but really optimal state) i spent 350 Euros for this machine. Anyone know a midi retrofit's kit that ok ? Thank's a lot...
... Well, I hope the one you can get via http://www.analog.no/ is good ..... I'm still waiting for the bloody service tech I gave mine to to fit it though! ...
HI you know you should really think of retrofitting the polysix after you have put it in or installed it the vintage propertys are gone if I was you I would...
Hey everyone, well here's the info if anyone is interested. I work at a music store, we have a repair department, and i ended up finding a pretty beat up...
*sniff*... fixed the traces, ran without the battery, i couldn't find any reason why not to within the service schematics, besides i hardly ever save a patch,...

On my poly six one of the six voices is louder than the rest and slightly distorted. I swapped the filter and sound generating chips between voices and there...
... From: "ghwelles" <GHWelles@...> ... no difference as in that chipset is still louder, or that "channel" is still louder. I'd think the chips would...
Good point: the same channel stays louder regardless of what chipset is in it. The volume pot idea is interesting, which pot controls the voice channel...

There arent any individual volume pots. It might be well that one of the transistors which form the VCA is gone. Check Q5 and Q6 (standard although matched...
Thanks, I will look into it. ... There arent any individual volume pots. It might be well that one of the transistors which form the VCA is gone. Check Q5 and...
Well... after my fears of the Polysix being dead, it turns out that my shakey solder joints were the culprit on the 74LS08 beside the battery. My tech took...
does http://www.dinsync.com/ have any good midi convertors (for the polysix) because they have the cheapest midi converters i have seen + they have a midi...
... the ... It looks like what they have is a MIDI converter to a pulse for the arpeggiator trigger on the PolySix, not a MIDI kit for the PolySix, unless I...
Hi! Oooooo, sorry, Mr. Hooke (May I call you Meat?) - the VCOs in the Polysix are *discrete*, linear (Hz/Volt) items. Since you're a member of the Yahoo...
The VCOs are not special chips but discrete: Q9/Q10/Q11 - C54 fed by constant current source IC37 (a TL072)/Q8. It is a very simliar design as the MS series...
It is with the deepest regrets that I have had to cancel Robert's appearance at the Soundscapes Concert Series on July 12. Everyone who paid for tickets in ...
It seems that my Polysix has lost its internal memory, because none of the programs work, and it only makes one sound (like its dying). I need to program new...
Hi, aprox & List! You didn't mention if your Polysix has the absolutely-necessary battery replacement/modification. If not, or if you aren't sure, Open Up...
Hi all, i know thislist is not for the EX-8000, but i could not find any forums/user groups about the DW/EX-8000. The Problem is, that only two Sounds came out...
What happens when I power on my Polysix is this: All led's lit up steady except för the freq. led on the MW section. It starts blinking slowly and speeds up...
hi, i had the same problems on my two Polysix.Changed the 74LS08, changed the DAC-Chip, changed nearly everything. Nothing worked. The Knob Mainboard with the...
That is one of the craziest pieces of hacking I have *ever* heard about :-) My polysix seems to have probs with its RESET mode too - it used to get stuck in...
