Re: Poly-800 Chorus problem

2008-05-16 by saulius_pocevicius

Okay, nevermind, I already fixed this...

The problem was with unstable Chorus LFO oscillation. Not sure about
the exact reason, but I was able to find a quick workaround - adding
10M (yes, weird - it's quite large value) resistor in parallel to C44
completely solved the problem and LFO is stable now (and Chorus works).

So, my Poly-800 is ready for Hawk-800 :-).

Best, Saulius
