Subject: Re: [PolySix] How long does a tuning last?

I don't know a lot about the tuning circuitry, but if there are
electrolytic caps in it, those could be going soft. How long did you
let the polysix warm up before you did the tuning? How often do you
use it otherwise?

I doubt that you have a bigger problem if the unit does auto-tune,
even if the auto-tune is off a bit. Did you try tuning it to another
known good source, like a guitar tuner or something?
