Subject: Intermittent problem with sound and sound selection

From: josh.nursing@gmail.com

Hi all,

My Polysix does this on turning on: Sound A1 is selected but the sound played is a sound changed from what I have saved in that location. Additionally, if I select a new sound, let's say A2, both A1 and the 2 LED light up.

It does the same thing if I select B2 right after turning on: both A and B light up and both 1 and 2 light up.

Now, I know this is an intermittent issue because after a good while of letting the Polysix dormant, I opened it up, checked all the boards and cabling, turned it on and had normal operation and sounds for around 25 minutes until the sound sort of fizzled out to that weird state.

Since I had repaired KLM-367, it could well be that the insidious battery leakage creep is ongoing. Does the issue above sound familiar? Does anyone know where I could focus re-checking things and fix it?

Thanks a lot, and have a great week-end!
