Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Have you understood what Jed said about pins being different between the clone board and the original? The clone board is designed for 2N3819 in T1 position, not SK30A. The 2N transistor pins are Drain, Gate, Source, while the SK transistors are Source, Gate, Drain, so you have to bend the pins over to the correct hole if you are using the old original transistor.
