Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

I bought my PolySix a few months ago and had to have the battery and
IC31 replaced and a few tracks re-wired. It now sounds fantastic,
but there are a couple of problems.

First, when I turn it on, there is no sound available except a very
low-frequency 'bloop'. I have to press the 'Manual' button and
twiddle a few knobs to start getting a proper sound. Is this
normal? I would have thought it would have some recognisable patch
on power-up.

Also, the write-to-memory doesn't work well. If I write a patch,
then select another patch, then back to the new patch, the sound is
nothing like what I thought I stored. Presumably there is another
chip somewhere that needs to be replaced. Is this a common problem
with an easy fix?

Thanks, folks.
