It looks like the free version of groups.io has a 1GB limit for file storage. Florian, do you know if any of the Yahoo groups you moderate already exceed this?

Possibly the oscillator was not running when it didn t work. Different chips are a little different in that area, as it s really an analog function, so

Ok, so to add to the general weirdness of this, I called the guys at the local synth repair shop and asked if they had a spare Polysix D8049C-217 living

You need to check the ROM code version. I think it should be 214 (not 100% sure). that number is on the chip. The Mono/Poly has an extra diode on the pcb

The MonoPoly can’t be, since it is a 4 VCO machine. The Poly-61 might be? I know I’ve seen them listed on Ebay as being for both synths, but the seller

Hmm... for me the mid pot isn t an offset, it just skews everything out of tune. I might just have to retune the individual voices if I want the main tuning
2019-04-25 by <backshall1@bellsouth.net>
The MID should be able to change the global offset without changing the rest of the tuning. From: joeyvfx@gmail.com [PolySix] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2019

This was very helpful! I managed to adjust the voltages, pulse width, D/A, and I tuned the resonances and tracking of the voices. Things are sounding good!

Yeah, I checked it, at least from the 366 side, but I haven’t had the chance to dive back in since I put it all back together, I need an afternoon to take it

How about swapping the entire keybed first. That’s easy. Are any of the voice LEDs lighting up when you press keys? Don B. From: Barry London

A couple more things. You don’t need an oscilloscope for the D/A adjustment. It’s just a lot of finicky turns of VR6 and VR7 and watching the Program LEDs.
2019-04-24 by <backshall1@bellsouth.net>
The D/A Adjustment is the most critical to getting all knob ranges correct. If the thing boots up properly every time, then the Reset circuit adjustment is

I’ve built many of these boards. When the switch is on, it is in test mode. For the switch you used, no doubt it looks upside down when it is installed

Yup, it still sounds like the switch is in backwards. Not really a problem, as long as you know “normal” is the other direction. Don B. From:

There is no way that the MCU is in test mode if the Poly6 is operating normally. If the switch has only two pins on it, and you installed it the wrong way

you must leave your polysix switched on for 15 minutes before playing it: does it recover the tune after that warm up time?
