Ah.....so I'm sending a negative trigger when I need a positive one?  Or the other way around?  Bugger.  


Thanks for this.  I'm relieved that this is something that I should be able to sort out!

Hi Chris,


The p6's arp trig is expecting an 's-trig' ie. something which is shorting five volts across the tip and sleeve of the jack. The tr is sending a v-trig ie. a positive pulse trigger. You can get converters, or make one up yourself easy enough / get the fella who fixed your synth to do one. Really easy, even I managed. You might find this page helpful:

Hi guys, 

I just finally got my Polysix back from the chap who fixed it - I bought a broken one and am pleased I've helped bring one back to life........except for one thing.  When triggering the P6's arpeggiator with my Roland TR thingee, it's just slightly behind the beat, no matter what patch I'm on/adjusting parameters etc.  

Is this a design fault?  Or do I need to look at how I'm connecting up etc?  With my Juno 60 it was bang on but, although the P6 undoubtedly "sounds" better, proper analog arp-goodness, I was kinda hoping that the chap could handle staying on the beat with a simple drum machine.  Especially as I sold the Juno and can't afford to get another one any time soon. 

Cheers, Chris
