Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hehe, I was looking at that same German eBay auction for the Polysix. 
I actually wrote that first question you quoted in your message. I 
was in contact with him a few times, this is what I understood is the 
problem:

When playing in polyphonic mode there's a problem with one of the 
voices: there's a "dunpf" sound occuring periodically every 4-5 
seconds. He also said he thought it might be related to the LFO 
somehow. In unison mode and chord mode this "dumpf" sound is not 
present.

I was waiting for the price to drop even further (the original "buy 
it now" was set at 299 euros) since I would have expected a repair 
bill in order to get it working. But you got it!

Good luck and hope everything works out!
