Ok. So I got this Polysix that seemed frozen. The two middle program LEDs were lit (4 and 5 i think). No synth control via the front panel. MG would oscillate

Did I say I wanted to place the caps in series? I guess I forgot that the rules for adding caps are the exact opposite of resistors. Frank

You can get a Polysix from Analogue Modular Systems in the web. Just type the name in the yahoo explorer. The batteries need replacement before they leak.
