Re: [PolySix] Re: Octave Switch not working. Need a little bit of help to locate the problem.

2012-12-19 by Johannes Hausensteiner

Check if the signals from KLM-367/IC28/pin3 ans 9 arrive at KLM-366/IC6/
pin1 and pin39. This is how the Programmer MCU tells the Key Assigner
MCU how to set the octave.

Good luck!
