The use of 4-bit memory makes me wonder about the control resolution.  
It never seemed much good playing with the Polysix, and I know that  
on the Poly61 (where the resolution is explicit because of the  
digital display) it was really poor.
Am I to take it that the Polysix stores most parameters to 4-bit  
accuracy?
