Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi Gil
Thanks for your question!
I replaced both CPU ICs from the KLM509 board with two from my other POLY 61
and checked the cables which seem to be OK, but the POLY61 keeps freezing at
start up...
I have the service manual but there's no test descriptions for the CPU
Board...just for the remaining boards...
Best regards
Jos\ufffd

Have you checked the IC and cable contacts ?
