Hi man! Wow! Your THE guy who makes the mod kits? I 'm very grateful to have made your acquaintance :)

My wall wart is 9v DC 600 Ma, I do have the original adapter but it was frayed out when I bought it. should I re-solder it?

Funny  thing is, there have never been batteries in this thing since I bought it about 3 weeks ago, I read it won't hold memory without them, but up until today mine retained,

I had it appraised at guitar center (Not to sell, just curious, all the employees were giddy over it and pissed when I said I wouldn't sell for less than a grand haha!) I'm wondering if one of them did something that could have screwed it up?

I'm also thinking about using a real cassette player to do the load, as perhaps a WAV. file through a duet isn't what it wants to hear.

So  the mod kit is about $100 right? Do I need to have the Moog slayer in first? When is the cut off date for payment? Want to make sure I get in on this batch of send outs, as I love this synth and know it has a ton more to offer.

Thanks again for hitting me up :)

Start with the simple things.

Quite a few people have problems because the wall wart power supply they use is flaky. What is the condition and specs of your wall wart? Have you tried another? Have you checked for signs of battery leakage in the battery compartment? Do all of the buttons function and allow you to do everything even if it doesn't sound right?

I am the guy that sells the HAWK. I ship out four times a year and it's your lucky day because May is one of the months that I ship out orders. ;-)

But yes, first let's get your Poly working right.

Well, after repeating to process several times I know have nothing, not even white noise

Tried many different gain possibilities

Clearly this is not the answer,

Any ideas?
