Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

> Shucks, just noticed a note in the "files" section from gil_we back in Oct 2007 where he replaced the p1501 with a VTL5C3. I wonder if the lower temperature coefficient of the VTL5C3 makes it a better choice than the VTL5C2 for the tuning circuit? Some day, I gotta read the rest of the stuff in there.

The diode side of the photocoupler tested bad, so it was time to go shopping again. This time, I thought I would try one of the Vactrol parts, so I got a Vactec VTL5C2 from Small Bear (same place I got the Silonex part). I replaced R93 with 22K (up from 4.7K) and it seems to be working very well, so now we have a couple of choices for replacing the P1501.
