Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

If the upper address lines to the SRAM are not all connected,
some of the patches would be repeated.   I don't think the code
that reads patches from cassette and writes them into RAM does
any kind of check.
 
The RAM is right near the part of the board where the battery
damage occurs.

Hi,

Yes, I still have it. I am located in St. Louis, MO. I just got it back from the shop. It had the dreaded battery leak issue and required extensive re doing of the traces on the board by a reputable local tech. Still is unplayable because the tuning is so far off.... I was able to "successfully" load factory patches from the wav files that are floating around the net but... it still does not sound right because of the tuning issue. I get the feeling the solution is more involved than just calibrating the tuning because it seems like entire banks of sounds sound similar. Really I was thinking that if the machine was totally healthy, after loading in factory sounds, they should sound much more different from one another....  electric piano, strings, bass.... etc. But I am not getting any of these "regular" sounds at all. Any ideas?  I might just post all of this to group to see if folks have any ideas...Thanks!

Jack
