Boo! (Korg Poly61)

[SYSph@ntOPus]

Hey Hey Mr. Bissel!
Possibly scary...as in mad with ambition but never really checking what
the hell it is I am getting into...I didn't get the synth as operational
as I thought, there appears to be a sharp feed back like noise coming from
the box (headphones and outs) I''m waiting for word on the maintenance
manuals from some guy on the  ol' net. Does anyone have any knowledge of
digital synths or where I could I find out a little more about them,
preferabbly "on line"? I also got a Moog Satelite from the same Trash bin
(and an Apple IIc with gobs of softs!) and could use some schematics for
it as well. I've tried all the usual suspects, but no luck. Anybody?

ps: I promise to keep the schizo name changes to a minimum this time...the
current ID is the one to keep, I'd wager!
