Hi Ullrich, the 7408 isn´t the problem. If i remove the 5114 RAM and use the 764HC08 Series, then the Polysix works without Patch-Key-LED flicker. If i don´t...
At the bottom is the message I wrote to the sound on sound forum, somebody advised I post it here as well.Apparently it appears as if there is a problem with...
My first impression would be that the machine has one faulty voice -- it needs either trimming or repair. However, first thing you want to try is dumping the...
Thanks for the info greg, will give that a try. Something I'm a bit baffled about is, I had heard the polysix can do six voice, I'm a bit unsure as to the...
Hi all. I'm trying to solve a problem I have with my Kawai SX-210 which is VERY similiar to the Polysix both in it's concept and features. It is a 8 notes...
Hi, looks to me like you have problem with one voice. It requires trimming, and if it doesn't help, the chips in that voice may be faulty. I suggest the...
Hi Roman, this was great, many thanks. I have found that the sixth voice had a faulty SSM2056 (EG) chip. When I moved just the 2056 to another voice, the fauly...
I just got a polysix and I must say it's a beautiful sounding synth, much on the bass side ! I like it being able to make especially great piano/organ/bass,...
Hi everyone, I'm trying to whip my polysix into pristine shape. The last thing I need to do is get rid of the scratchiness of the volume pot. Minor problem,...
... Replacing the filter caps in the power supply should not cause any change in the voltage output -- but if it does, the powersupply trims are easy (I'm...
Thanks, done that as well as replacing the battery and all works fine ! BTW, I noticed the sign "(M)" on both large original power supply capacitors, but...
Shouldn't be a problem; newer caps are generally better quality (and smaller!) than the ones made 20-30 years ago. ~GMM ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Just open the case and locate the volume pot on the left side, than spray some contact fluid into the pot. The pot is bare and easy to get to. ... I...
I was tuning my Polysix, but didn't touch the D#4-E4 trimpot, Was only using the high/low/mid trims of overall and osc sections. However, I noticed that on...
I wonder if and how the Trident is better than the P6. Does it sound better/warmer ? What are the additions ? and does that P6 have any features the Trident...
Glad to hear you found the cause for the problem ! Actually have a much similiar problem on my Kawai SX-210 (great synth BTW), One of the 8 notes it can play...
Oh, and I forgot to mention that the problemtic note actually plays well for a few seconds when I turn on the synth, and only than starts to sound odd. It this...
Hi, I wanted to let you know that I've finally managed to repair my Precious (Polysix). It was indeed the opto resistor, the PC-1, that was faulty. It was...
I fixed it ! Just as I thought the problem was a faulty 4066 IC lays (probably) at the EG section of the 2nd oscillator. ... starts ... ta ... oscillator ... ...
Hello all, i have the nose full since my third KLM-367 has gone, so i´d want to create a new Board for my own usage. I need the Functions/Voltages from each...
Seeing as many of the recent posts have been repair oriented, I just wanted to say that after 7 months (my tech was VERY busy) I got my Polysix back and she...
Hello again all... Finally got a SSM2056 chip for my P6 which fixed the annoying 6th note enigma I was having, it's good to hear all notes play normally now. ...
Hi I know it's the polysix group but there's a lot of tech people around who could possible give me some clues... My Poly 61 at start up freezes with the...

Hi Gil Thanks for your question! I replaced both CPU ICs from the KLM509 board with two from my other POLY 61 and checked the cables which seem to be OK, but...
