[sdiy] Korg Polysix - now weirdness

[Nate Reeves]

I think you use the low C and high C to tune it, i cnt remember it  
wasnt fune to tune, i guess it doesnt have an auto tune function?

i like the matrix 6 or 6 trak as they have an auto tune procedure but  
yea you have top connect a tuner to the poly six~!

cheers
