Hello.

I own a Polysix that is having a problem, that I first thought was related to the battery. I
basically replaced the battery and the diode like explained on Old Crow's synth page,
except I did not replace the IC chip because the battery did not seem to have leaked onto
the board and therefore I found no real reason to go through more of a hack job.

The problem began after just moving the synth from one room to the next (i know, it
sounds stupid), and all my patches began to modulate after roughly two seconds if you
kept the keys pressed down. After changing out the battery I had to reload the patches
back into the synth and half of them don't work, and the ones that do still modulate. I
already got insight from Scott @ Old Crow, but I wanted to know if anyone else had
experienced a simliar problem, forcing them to do a battery replacement and find out it
did not solve the problem..

Let me know, I'm curious to see responses, if any.
