Hi
Use the Moog Slayer scheme. Results are worth it.

Subject: [korgpolyex] Correct components & wiring for Moog Slayer mod?

Hi all,
I just picked up a Poly-800 for $100 that already seems to have the mod done - there are
two (knobless) pots above the joystick that seem to control res & cutoff. They're both really
sticky and tough to turn, so I'm gonna open 'er up this weekend & use some de-oxit.

While I've got the hood open I'd like to do two things:
1) Make sure the job was done correctly, and..
2) Add the "patch values vs. knobs" switch.

Regarding point #1 above, I've checked out Olaf's photos and have a few Qs:
There are two diagrams, called schematic & MoogSlayer. They show different wiring in each
& different values for the RES pot (50k vs. 10k). Which is correct?

Regarding point #2, I'm not sure what value resistors to use here, since I bought the synth
with the mod already done, hence no VR2 & VR5 to check. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.
