Guys, thank you for replays!

After spending a little more time with PolySix, i discovered one more
broken trace, caused by battery leakage, i found out that i can
acctually copy preset from let's say A2 to A1, so write is working,
however, i can't write from MANUAL mode.
If i set a patch in manual mode and then write it, the preset is
overwritten, but not with the patch it should but with - something.
I also found out that if i make drastic changes to the sound and
rewrite the patch, there is a difference, but it's far from the sound
from MANUAL mode :-)

Could it be a DAC problem?
Another thing that i'm not sure about is Reset Circuit calibration.
According to the manuals, BANK A-D, MANUAL, TAPE ENABLE and PROGRAM 1-
8 leds should be lit, what about HOLD, CHORD MEMORY, UNISON and POLY?
If i set VR1, sometimes POLY led goes out and UNISON led become lit,
sometimes all four leds are lit (during the calibration process).

So, to be short: I can COPY preset from one place to other, but if i
write from MANUAL mode, the values stored are different from those
set by pots :-)

Best regards,
Peter
