Re: [chromapolaris] Re: Polaris stubborn tuning problems

Not dumb, but as I have several spare DAC chips, I tried that already.

Next plan is to dig into the service manual description of the Timer
Interface Serial I/O section, particularly as it relates to the tuning
process.
I'm starting to think that the voices are working correctly, but some
are receiving bad information. We'll see.

Thanks.
