Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

http://www.acc.umu.se/~amber/Poly6/stuff/p6list1

on the linked page I found this 

"MIDI implementation? It's possible, but is it reliable? Everyone I 
know
who has gotten this modification says their occilators no longer work
properly and the sound just doesnt produce the same tone."

What do you think ? does this make any sense ?
