Re: [PolySix] VCF cutoff quirkiness

if the filter chip would be the source of that issue, you would only hear it at one of the six voices and not at all. so be sure it isnt the filter.

  Subject: [PolySix] VCF cutoff quirkiness


  Hi,  this is my my first post to this group. I bought a Polysix
  recently   realizing they're very old. Actually played guitar mainly
  in the 80's but there was always a PSix in my basement studio.
  Background: this unit had maintenance performed by Korg in the 80's
  and the battery was lifted into a socket before any damage occurred.
  It works pretty good except; I noticed some volume issues (not being
  very responsive to cranking it up!) I believe I solved this issue by
  working the volume pot a few times-maybe a scratchy pot in need of
  cleaning. More importantly, there's an issue with the VCF cutoff. It
  doesn't track well when at the lower freqs. When I move the knob it
  sounds like it's dirty and cuts in and out. When it's stationary (not
  moving) the freq cuts off where it should. Just to be clear, I can set
  it any where and get the correct cutoff, it just takes some tweaking
  at the lower end. This again sounds like maybe a dirty pot. I have
  heard that the filter chip set may be going?? Not a tech head myself.
  Sorry for being longwinded but I need to keep this dinosaur roaring!!
  Any feedback would be appreciated
