Re: [PolySix] RE: Polysix tuning difficulties.

2014-02-28 by Malte Rogacki

Hi,

this reminds me of something.
I believe at least the Polysix and the MonoPoly use the same assigner.

Polysix		8049C217
Monopoly	8049C217

Same for the old revision of the Poly-61.

The Poly-61 (being a 6-voice synth) could lend useful insights here.

The MonoPoly has a "Tune Point Switch" that - as far as I can see -
connects pin 34 to pin 19 for the initial tuning procedure.
