RE: [PolySix] Wrong functions controlled by knobs?

2010-01-30 by backshall1 (dsl)

Hi Andy,
 
The real challenge will be to create 2 working Polysix synths out of this
heap. I've never scrapped a keyboard for parts before and I don't intend to
start now. It's just going to take a little longer than I anticipated. I
think I underestimated by a couple of months.

Don,

Sounds a bit like 'Scrapheap Challenge'. If you have that on TV where you
are then you'll know what I mean. BTW. The CPU also has a T1 pin. This is
for clocking the data in from the tape input. So now you know!

Cheers,
Andy
