Selecting Hold Mode causes the selected note to drop by a semitone when a key is released

2017-04-21 by t_tangent2003@yahoo.co.uk

Hi all, my first post here. I have recently been trying to fix my Polysix, and I replaced the battery damaged cpu board with the Kiwisix cpu board and power supply board upgrade.

So far all seems to have gone well, and almost everything I have tested so far seems to be working as it should. However I have noticed that when I press a note on the keyboard and then select the Hold mode button, when I then take my finger off the selected note on the keyboard I was holding, the note drops by approx 1 semitone. This only seems to happen when I select Hold mode. If I just select a key on the keyboard and then release it, the Polysix will act as expected and either stop playing that note, or if EG is selected and there is a long release then it will continue playing the same note.

Is this a known issue on the Polysix, or does this mean a related ICs needs replacing. Any help would be much appreciated, so thanks in advance, and if you need further info then please let me know.

Cheers

Tim
