Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Ok thanks.  It makes sense I guess, but I'm probably going to try tuning it one more time 
because I really don't feel like putting any more effort into this keyboard if I can help it.  I 
just got an OB-8 so I really don't need the P6, but I like the arpeggiator and SSM sound so 
that's why I keep it around.  Any idea how much that part cost anyway?
