Hi all,
I was recently given a polysix by somebody that claimed it was broken. I took it into the local shop in St. Louis, Missouri and sure enough it had the dreaded battery leak issue and required extensive re doing of the traces on the board. The tech was able to "successfully" do it but… Still is unplayable because the tuning is way off.... I was able to "successfully" load factory patches from the wav files that are floating around the net but... it still does not sound right because of the tuning issue. I get the feeling the solution is more involved than just calibrating the tuning because it seems like entire banks of sounds sound similar. Really I was thinking that if the machine was totally healthy, after loading in factory sounds, they should sound much more different from one another.... electric piano, strings, bass.... etc. But I am not getting any of these "regular" sounds at all. I am really hoping most of the hard work is already done with the repaired traces etc. and would love to get this up and running. Any ideas? Please and thanks!
Jack
