HELP! My poly's all wonky!
2005-09-12 by lmulvogue@iinet.net.au
Haven't touched my poly in a while, and just remembered why. (well, apart from not having the time or space...) After a fairly short period of playing (say 10mins), modulation of the DCO starts creeping in. Don't know if it gets worse and worse, as I usually turn it off in frustration at this point. It's the same sound as if I had the joystick slightly up from neutral. Could somehow it just be some miscalibration of the joystick axis? But it seems to not appear for a period of time, and then kinda creep in. Any thoughts? I have the cutoff/resonance trimpot bypass mod done (ie. the "non-slayer"), but I don't believe this would affect it in any way (had the mod for quite some time). I use the joystick a bit, but only for VCF modulation and occasionally pitchbend, virtually never for DCO modulation. Thanks Lee http://baudalign.com/lee/poly800.html PS. If there's a Brian on this list who contacted me via my web contact form RE painting the poly, you didn't leave your email address. I've put a note on the site about the paint.
