Oh well, so you can't save presets. Not all is lost! That's how (all?) synths
were til 1978. At least yours works, except for the memory. Soooo many people
have problems with units suffering from battery damage. I'm assuming the
battery was yanked before damage occurred from leakage, which is usually the
case. You could probably get a battery/socket put in or DIY. Check out Old
Crow's site if you're not already familiar with it.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with analog, but when looking at patch
charts for an analog synth-they are rough estimations. Especially if the unit
hasn't been calibrated recently. You can usually get a close approximation by
tweaking the settings a bit. Just a very slight movement of certain knobs for
ex: the VCF, can have drastic effects. The main thing is to twist those knobs
and learn what the synth is capable of. The P6 is an amazing machine and can
make nearly every famous synth sound you've ever heard. The only thing it
doesn't have which is a favorite of mine is portamento. Korg only put it on the
Mono/Poly which was released the same year. Anyway blab blab blab,,,, be glad to
help if you have more questions.
