Hi Phil,

   If you plan to use that USB DAC as an oscilloscope, I don't think
it will work very well.   It's more of a data sampler, than a scope, it seems.
It doesn't sample fast enough to show the waveforms in a processor-based
synth.   You need something with at least 10-20 MHz bandwidth, and really
at least 60 MHz would be much better.

Thanks Bob and Johannes

I am off for the week end with family, but managed to take only the KLM 367A board and VM (shh!, don't tell my wife she doesn't know....)
I have checked all connections on IC23 and are OK. I will update on voltage on Sunday night..

Also I have managed to get a USB oscillo (data acquisition board) with dedicated software (tracerDAQ). Precisely:
http://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-1208FS.aspx

much better than nothing, so I should be equipped for the next stage... (still in learning phase anyway !)
Thanks for your support
Phil

Sorry for
the multiple emails.  In DAC calibration
mode,you
should be able to turn the cutoff and see the lit LED move
from 5-8as
you turn it.   Likewise, you should be able to move the
speed/intensity potand
see the other lit LED move from 1-4.

EG and VCF not working after battery leakage


 









Looking at the klm367 schematic, I understand now
your point with the connections between pins and signal P20,
P21 and P22 but I had some diffuculty to cross link that
information with the PCB drawing... until I realize that i
was counting incorrectly the pins while I did know that it
was from top right then CCW

Do what I say, not what I do... I was correct for top side
numbers but reverse for the bottom side i.e i did restart
with 9 below 1... Stupid!



So now I do have the following:



P22 IC18-9 IC19-9 and IC22-23  => OK

P21 IC18-10 IC19-10 and IC22-22 => OK

P20 IC18-11 IC19-11 and IC22-21  => OK

INH IC19-6 and IC23-10 => OK

"X" IC18-3 and IC19-3 and IC27-1
=>OK



I did recheck my previous post to correct them in light of
my wrong pin counting



1) I did the DAC calib again and turning VR6 CCW => from
led 8 to led 7 6 then 5, while turning VR7 CCW from led 8 to
7 then 6

OK



2) pin 3 of IC18 and pin 1 of IC27, OK

OK



3) pin 6 of IC18 and IC23-4. OK

OK



4) pins 9,10 and 11 of IC18 and 19 should be connected to
each other and to IC22 ?



UPDATED: Wrong comment see above!



5) With power on, you should be able to vary a front
panel

control,such as filter cutoff, and see IC7 pin 7 change
voltage as you

do it (in manual mode).



3.177V => 3.120V cut off from 10 to 0 with all controls
at normal setting



UPDATED: Luckily correct, I did measure in fact pin 6 but it
is strapped to pin 7...



6) when you select different patches, you should see the
attack at IC10-1decay



=> On IC 10-1 no change always 13.56V



UPDATED: Correct measurement



7) Decay at IC10-7 ?



=>slight variation between patches. In manual mode and
normal setting with decay control from 0 to 10 => 3.240V
to 3.346V



UPDATED: Again Luckily correct, I did measure in fact pin 6
but it is strapped to pin 7...



I apologize for my mistake and thanks again for your
patience and your support.

Phil

These should be

connected:

IC18-9 IC19-9 and IC22-23  this

is signal "P22"

IC18-10 IC19-10 and IC22-22 

this is signal

"P21"

IC18-11 IC19-11 and IC22-21 

this is signal "P20"

IC19-6 and

IC23-10

Also, IC18-3 must connect to

IC19-3 as well as to IC27-1 which you checked already.



You may want to download the

service manual as it is available forfree on the web, and
see the

schematic for KLM-367.

If IC18 and IC19 are not

connected properly, the control voltages

won't work

correctly.

Please ignore IC22 pins 5, 19,and

35.    They are not related to

this discussion.  We are

checking A B C and INH signals to IC18 and

IC19.

Hi Bob,



You are really helpfull. Merci !

2) pin 3 of IC18 and pin 1 of IC27, OK

4) pins 9,10 and 11 of IC18 and 19 should be connected to


each other and to IC22 ?



  It seems I have a problem here. I found only IC18-9 +

IC19-9 + IC22 -5 , IC22-19 and IC22-35 connected
together.

Nothing between IC18-10 (IC18-11) with any pin of IC19
or

IC22 ??



Shall I strap IC18-9 + 10 + 11







5) With power on, you should be able to vary a front

Hi Phil,



    



If you are seeing LEDs 1 and 8 in DAC calibration mode,

that



impliesthat



the DAC and the input muxes are working.   Another

thing



to try -



in



the DAC calibration test mode, turn the two controls

that



you were supposedto



set for this test, and you should see the LED's



change.



   



Don't worry about the click noise test for



now.



   



The voltage demux for controlling the EG and the VCF is



mostlyIC18



(4051).   I would check with the ohmmeter that you

have



good connections(with



the power off, of course) between pin 3 of IC18 and pin
1

of



IC27, and between



pin



6 of IC18 and IC23-4.  Also, pins 9,10 and 11 of IC18

and



19 should be connectedto



each other and to IC22.  







   



With power on, you should be able to vary a front panel



control,such



as filter cutoff, and see IC7 pin 7 change voltage as

you



do it (in manual



mode).  



And when you select different patches, you should see

the



attack at IC10-1decay



at IC10-7, etc changing with different patches.  Be

careful



when probing with



the



power on not to short anything or you can damage chips
in

an



instant.  Use the gndtest



pt for the meter black or negative lead.











   



Tell us what you measure at these points in the circuit

and



if they vary with the



corresponding



front panel control in manual mode, or when you change



patches.



   



Bob

EG and VCF not working after battery leakage











 







































Thanks Bob for your quick answer !















Seems that my patch looses "EG" from memory.
I



have no sound unless I put the VCA switch from EG back

to



"square" again to get some sound.







Not sure to keep the bank memory even when polysix is

still



on.















I did the procedure and it passes directly. Here a
quick



summary:







∗dummy 56 ohm => all leds on







∗remove resistance => A1 leds







∗SW1 in test mode and tape switch to enable => Only

leds



1+8 on







∗ SW1 back to normal => still leds 1+8







∗ "7 ) confirm that output DC click noise is
within

6V



p-p when power is switched off" => sorry I

don't



understand precisely what to do/ measure?







∗ Power on again => A1 leds on.















Thanks for your support







Phil

See if







these functions can be controlled correctly when using







patchesin







memory.  If so, then the output from the CPU to the



analog







circuitsis







OK.   Then you have a problem with reading the







controls.But







if the sound is always the same with all programs,
then



the















output







circuit is bad and maybe t is reading from the pots







OK.Did







you try the DAC calibration test in the manual?  It



would







be helpfulto







know if that is working OK.  Just the part where you

try



to







get the







two







LEDs to light up.

working after battery leakage















































Bonjour !I am







French







and happy to join this group of Polysix owner. My old







Polysix bought back in







1983 has been sleeping in the attic since 1990, until
I



have







returned back now to







my first love. Unfortunately I have discovered the



battery







leakage problem !







So I did







the standard procedure (like many)Spend a







lot of time checking the lines on KLM-367 with plenty

of



leds on at start







up.. Browse internet for hours (discover service







manual, old crown, etc)…, change IC







30 & 31 … recheck continuity, still few leds







on..Recheck again, change all set of







panel switches (vintage planet)..4 leds on... Bank B

not







working...Check







lines again, to get finally only leds A1







on start up. Great !







Unfortunately sound







is not OK.







Tune seems







OK,







6 voices are OK, voltages from power board are OK
(15V,



5V







-5V and -15V) all pots







and switches seem to work except the 4x EG and 4x VCF



pots







which are not







active! I think at







this stage it is useless to do the calibration

procedure.



Is







there some indications,







checking to start with to define if it is still a







line/continuity problem or if electronic parts (IC,



diode..)







should be changed.







Thanks in







advance for your help
