If you find out there is a bigger problem than just mechanical then check out:

It will help you figure out what is wrong but you will need a multimeter.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've moved  the Bend slider to max and it doesn't work. I need to test the pitch bend controlling the Poly from another synth.  I hope the issue is no more than a good joystick cleaning or replacement.

Silly question but, have you adjusted the 'BEND' slider next to the volume control to maximum (10) the pitch bend wont work without this. I always forget about this one myself.

Hi, I have a poly 800 and the joystick half works. The DCO and VCF of Joystick work, but not Pitch Bend. Is this an easy fix? Or is the joystick just not good anymore? I opened it up and all the cables seem to be connected fine. If the joystick assembly is broken, does anyone know where I can buy it?

Thanks,
Frank
