Subject: Dead voice and too fast EG

Hi folks,


I'm wondering if anyone might be able to chip in with regards to the below coupla problems I'm still having on the Polysix I picked up recently (and just successfully switched to the Kiwisix including psu mods). The below's behaviour has been consistent before and after installation of the Kiwisix.


Firstly, voice two isn't sounding. The LED is not lighting, and that's about all I can tell you at this stage. From the threads I've trawled there seems to be a pretty systematic way to troubleshoot this but I haven't been able to locate that information, including what the significance is of the LED not lighting (I've seen threads where a voice isn't sounding but the LED does light....). Can anyone point me in the direction of a step-by-step or otherwise hold my hand for a bit?


Secondly, very strange behaviour from the EG. The AD and R make no change from a value of 0 till roughly 6 (staying as they would at 0) then there's a small change till 8.5 or 9 or so (by which time they sound as you'd imagine they might around 3 or 4) then no change for the remainder of the travel till 10. It's the same with all three of these pots. I tried adjusting VR12 but this just applies an offset to this time for each voice, and doesn't change the fundamental behaviour. I'm totally lost on this one!


Any wisdom, humour, advice, direction, or even solutions most welcome.


Thanks a million,


D :-)
