It sounds like one or two of the six voice filters needs to have the resonance turned down a bit. You will have to open it up and watch the internal LED lights to see which voice is acting strange. Each voice circuit has an LED.

Subject: [PolySix] Odd sound with patch when playing Polysix
 
 

When I play the Polysix, every 3rd or 4th key I strike you can hear a sort of metallic, tiny metal clang sound over the normal patch tone.  It comes out of the headphone jack as well.  It seems to happen when the release knob is a little over the halfway point. It wouldn't bother me if it was at a very low volume, but it seems to be equal to the patch sound and is especially noticable at low cutoff settings.  Anyone know what could be causing this?
