Poly800 button issue and Atomahawk question

2015-02-25 by robertburnham23@...

Hello people


I have recently purchased a Korg Poly800 from eBay but it has a few issues unfortunately. The main one that is troubling me is the 8 button does not work. I opened the unit up and checked if it was a contact issue, but it is the actual button on the board that does not work. Has anyone had a similar issue before? There is another issue with the keys, every 8th key does not sound. I believe this is down to the IC33 chip, is there any way the two faults could be related?


Also I am interested in the Atomahawk upgrade to give me full MIDI control over the unit. However my soldering skills are pretty non existent. Is there any way of getting a pre-soldered version?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated



Cheers

Rob
