Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

OK-that makes things a bit more clear. I didn't think it would be the filters
because I can reproduce all of the original presets (a wide range of sounds and
very cheesy I might add). It's just when I tweak the cutoff, it seems to cut
out at spots, mainly toward the lower freqs. It acts just like a dirty pot on a
guitar etc. I think I'll try to clean it out if possible. The KLM 370 looks
easy to remove. I haven't actually had the cover off yet, but do you know if
the pots can be cleaned out? Or are they sealed?  The Psix is an awesome
compliment to my Moog and MS2K etc,,, I think I have a pretty good one judging
from some of the horror stories regarding battery damage. Thanks a bunch for
all the help!!
