Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

its really easy to remove all of the boards. nothing is really sealed. just remove the screws from the pots on the topside and remove the screws from the board. some wire connections are sealed with a little bit (not hard to break) glue. but thats really all. all components are easy to compose and decompose

  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!!
