Subject: Re: Polysix pots not functioning.

Is there anyone in this group who could help me with this issue? I guess all I really need is to be pointed in the right direction. I would love it if someone could help me out.
Thanks,
Eric

I can tell that pulse width modulation is happening and is stuck on. The Lfo LED appears to either be stuck on or going at a very high rate and none of the bank LEDs are lit. I believe all voices are functioning. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or is there by chance a prior post that would be good to read? I wasn't able to find anything obvious.

The connectors leading from the battery board to the controls are good. The Mod wheel functions properly along with the bend and tune. Is there an obvious area to look at regarding this issue? Thanks for any input.
