Hi,
First thing, thanks a lot for that mailing list for polysix which is very helpfull. Second thing, i'm not english native speaker, by advance sorry for my bad english.
I contact you because as many people who are here, i have fixed a polysix with batterry leakage. I have replaced two 74LS08 completly eaten by acid and put wires to replace missing tracks. After that i have turn it on and the synth is working well. All sound functions are ok now. Happy man, i decide to test programmer but of course no sound inside. when i depress banks and programm key, i can access them but no sound.
I have downloaded wav file of stock presets on internet, i play them from my computer into tape input without checking volume. And since that sadly operation when i try to access preset, i can't.
When i depress bank A and programm 1 key, polysix produces a strange sound and program 2 led is on, i push programm 2 key and led of programm 1 is on. Same thing for the others programm keys. And i can't access to bank B C and D. i have the same strange sound when i push them.
If i enter into write mode i can access to all banks, 1 to 4 but immediatly i depress program key, write led stop to flash but nothing is written into memory.
Do you have an idea where i have to diagnose, of course i have checked tracks into klm367a board.
Thanks for your help.
Bruno
