Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi all,

there are three IC on the panel boards (369 and 370)
one 4556D which is an oamp as i found out this one is for the volume
knob i think...and two 14051. These are multiplexers..so they could be
the reason for the strange behavior...I'll check them...as soon as i
get the osciloscope..Does anyone know where to get the 14051 chaep in
germany ???

See ya all

Gregor
