Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hello,

I think the most important thing to focus on is making sure these are 1%
metal film types and of accurate value. This particular series (E96) is
sometime difficult to get in anything but 0.6W rating. However, as the
circuit is handling extremely low currents I have gotten away with 1/4w
types with no smell of burning or heat! (See the Farnell parts list) You
will also find 0.6/0.5W resistor quite large!

Happy soldering,
Andy
