Hello all, I just signed up today. I bought a Polysix off ebay which I arrived here in Trondheim, Norway just before the holidays. It needs a fair amount of...
Hello, I have spent the better part of the day sifting through old posts to this forum, which proved very useful... I suffer from a certain degree of phobia...
Have faith! My experience was that while it looked good initially, only after removing the board and taking a look at it with light shining throught the back...
Nothing happens. It plays, but the width or pwm does not change. I have a multimeter, how do i check this stuff out? I dont know a whole lot about ICs. ... to...
On KLM-367 check the following: * IC12 (TL072) pin1: must be -5V .. +5V according to PW/PWM poti if not, replace IC12 * IC13 (4558) pin1: must be -5V .. +5V...
Hi, Check the line "P24" from the patch CPU (pin35 of IC22 on KLM-367). It is the clock line for the latches for these signals (Octave, etc.) "crashes...
Thanks so much! I will break out the meter tonight and let you know what I find. I REALLY do appreciate it as while this synth arrived in pristine shape, I can...
So yesterday I took out the KLM-367 to examine it more closely. It's easy to see that the whole board has had a serious cleaning at one point (first battery...
Another session yesterday. Cleaned all pot/switch boards in control panel. Gobs of filth came off, still haven't gotten the stink of old nicotine out of my...
Take a look at the traces around IC30, IC 25, R91 and C10. Especially the latter two. If I remember correctly I had to rewire all of the traces near R91 and...
OK, when I am looking at the IC how do i know which pin is pin 1? I found one pin on IC12 that measures +/- 4.7 v but no pin that changes on IC13. Hmm...
Crow, When are you going to add the section to your site titled, " Give Your Polysix a Korg PS3100-style Triple Resonant Filter " ? Also, is it possible to...
Hm, I still need to do that triple res. mod website. Right after I do the 2nd VCO for Polysix site. ;) The 2040 is not a drop-in for the 2044. A 2040 can be...
Yes. When you measure on pin1 there will be a certain voltage. The PWM SPEED will be fixed at this point. When you measure at IC13/pin3, does the voltage...
Hi list, I am considering going for a polysix but am put off by some quality/durability horror stories I've read. I have only ever owned one analogue synth- a...
Hey everyone! Does anyone know of a repair site close to my location?? Live in Chilliwack B.C Yeah I don't know what happened but my Korg Polysix stopped...
Eh, I just checked pins 1 and 3 of ic13 and they both read 4.97 volts. I thought they read different before but maybe i was doing something wrong. Any ideas?...

Hi! My Polysix has had its screws put back in place and I've only been making sounds with it for a while. It mostly works more or less as it should. At times...
I asked a similar question which was never really answered here in context, so I can empathize. ... Old Crow's site will give you enough information to keep a...
Hi, The LFO Mode switch has 3 positions: VCA/VCF/VCO. This is encoded to 2 digital bits, so it is normal that in one position the switch is unconnected. The MG...
Johannes, I saw this post of yours and have been considering this as a solution. My primary concerns are: Will the tape last? Will the foil last? Would the...
Hi all, I'm the proud new owner of a Polysix. I love it! Can't take my hands off those knobs - the filters are just great! But I'm having a problem with it and...
yes, johannes posted this in response to a question i had a while back... and yes, this method works great and is easy. i also live in the NE usa (nyc) and the...
I think it will not last forever - of course. But probably it will last far longer than when you just clean it (thats what I did before- cleaning every two or...
