Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

I do -- I've done about 30 at last count.

I'm in Oakland, CA.

Question:  is the output to the headphone jack have the same problem?
When tracking down output problems, remember that the sound goes from 
the voice board through the effects board before reaching the output 
jacks;  also, the CPU board has some effect on the effect board levels.

Also, it's not uncommon for the volume pot to be bad, giving scratchy 
or diminished output.
