Request to post in group

Hey!

Thank you for adding me to group-greatly appreciated.  I would like to be able to post on the message board in order to get some advice on my newly acquired Poly800 w/Moog Slayer mod that is experiencing a tuning issue.  I have found similar topics in the group but none pertaining to my specific problem. 

Thanks
M

Dang didn't think the email was going to be posted directly so let me give you some specifics.  I just bought a Poly 800 with Slayer Mod off ebay in (supposedly) perfect condition.  I received it the other day and everything seemed great to the untrained ear but while playing with a friend we noticed the pitch was off.  For every patch, the pitch is transposed up a minor third (ie every time I play a C regardless of octave a D# is heard in the relative octave).  I've made sure it's not the detune parameter and the tuning slider only controls a half step so I'm wondering if something could've happened when the person modded the synth.  Any information would be excellent.

There is an internal trimpot for tuning, I had one that had drifted quite far in time as well, tuning it sorted it and its been stable since.
