Korg Mono/Poly

The only sound I seem to be able to get out of this, with it 
completely cranked up, is when the noise potentiometer is turned up, 
and the resonance and cutoff turned up. I can get a very faint hissy 
noise when I'm playing, and if I turn the resonance and cutoff while 
playing it changes the noise like you'd expect it to. Just almost 
completely inaudible, this was all the way up and then fed into a 
mixer with the gain all the way up.

I did try all the settings you recommended and did not hear 
the "thwumppp" or the "click". I checked the wiring and it looked 
fine, I reseated connectors.

I took the knobs off and backed the nuts off the pots, and took the 
CN16 connector off and measured pin 3, but I didn't seem to be 
getting anything. Should I be measuring it from the wire harness that 
goes into it? That's where I measured it. I could be doing something 
wrong. I did not check the CN2 pin 3, I was having difficulty finding 
it and had to quickly come up with an alternate solution for 
performing this wednesday night. 

I'm still hoping though, do you have any other recommendations based 
on what sound it's making, or by anything else I've written? Thanks 
so much for your input and time. I was much happier with a working 
mono/poly. I own a polysix as well, and these two synths have gone 
down so many times on me before shows, and during shows. . . I really 
ought to get the Korg Legacy 2007 and start performing with 
emulation. I still want to write and record with the real thing, just 
can't rely on them any longer it seems without becoming a tech!
