Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I have a Juno 106 too... mine is having that problem with poliphony 
too... I've mailed a guy in australia that still have those chips, 
but they're very expensive, at least for me here in Brazil... I've 
found another guy who made a pcb board to replace the chip, but don't 
know if it would not alter the sound...But i think it might be 
helpfull, since you're into circuits stuff...
