Polysix no sound

Polysix no sound

2005-12-04 by hansomchaam

Hello,
Again here is a polysix with the "no sound at all" problem.
When I measure with oscilloscoop on KLM366 (new) ic 9 pin 1 there is a 
constant pattern but not a 0.5 V/oct. Keystrokes has no effect at all, 
processor 8049 gives signals on DB0..DB8. Also no output on gate 0...3 
= pin 15,10,7,2 ic 5 on keystroke.
Does anyone has suggestions.
Please help me, I look forward to hear the nice sound again.
Thans,
Han.

How are the main voltages ? Has the battery leaked ?

Thanks for reply, I fixed the battery problem as described.
I checked (again) all connections/signals with an oscilloscoop.
I don't see any output, also no gate signals when key-stroke on ic5 
KLM-366. 
What shape must be on TP2 KLM367?
Thanks for your help.

I think the service manual have this information...

I have a similar problem. Does anyone have a scanned service manual I can 
get emailed? Greatly appreciated

This might sound trivial but is your power supply output all in 
check. In addition have you checked the the solder pads on the power 
connectors. I had and issue with one poly6 where the 15v solder pad 
on the connector was lifted. Also do a sanity check and make sure you 
chips are all getting proper voltages. Check old crows site for a 
scanned service manual.

Re: Polysix no sound

2005-12-06 by hansomchaam

Hello,
Still no sound, every chip has his power, setup from tape seems to 
work correctly (bank 1..8 lit up) so I think the problem is somewher 
on KLM366 (new prod). No gate signal on pin 15 ic5, also no 0..3,5 v 
on pin 1 ic9 so what can I do......?

Re: Polysix no sound

2005-12-10 by hansomchaam

Hello,
Every suggestion from everyone given to me (thanks) I have tried but 
still no sound.
The problem seems to be in the 8048 processor on KLM367. The 
outputsignal on pin 19 (DB7) has his pattern but some levels are 
higher than + 5 volt, it looks like an open line (not terminated), 
when I pull down it (10 k) it's gone but why??
So I'm thinking on replacing the processor and asking is this still 
for sale somewhere (or replacement).
Please give me suggestions (where to buy).
Thanks,
Han.

Re: Polysix no sound

2005-12-10 by gil_we

I think it is a standard part for simple diy circuits, the ones 
students usually build. You should be able to find it at a local 
electronics shop I think

Re: [PolySix] Re: Polysix no sound

2005-12-10 by Johannes Hausensteiner

Hi,

I do not want to discouorage you, but I do not believe that it is
the KLM-367's CPU.  This does only the programmer.  You can check
it very easily:
1) If you have an oscilloscope, put one probe to TP4 and trigger
    on this signal. There should be a narrow pulse about every 20msec.
    The other probe connect to TP2. Obtain GND at TP3.
    On TP2 you can see the multiplexed control voltages coming out of
    the programmer CPU. Now turn knobs on the control panel and you see
    a corresponding bar moving up and down between -5 and +5V.
2) If you do not have an oscilloscope you can measure on CN05 (green
    wires to KLM-366) single control voltages. The connector contacts
    are labeled on the PCB, e.g. EG INT is pin10. Moving knobs on the
    control panel should result in a moving corresponding control
    voltage -5 ..+5V.

If this does work then IC22 (8048 CPU) is OK. If not then you may want
to go for a new CPU, which can be difficult because you need a correctly
programmed CPU. Either you watch out for a cannibalised Polysix or you
get a 8748, which is the EPROM version of the chip. This can be really
difficult as it is very outdated. Nowadays people make their homebrew
micro stuff with PICs or the like. Then you have to have the programming
file a possiblity to program it. So before going through all this and
then finding out that it was not the reason it is worth to look a bit
deeper into it and check for other causes...
As I know from repairing some battery-leakage victims, IC31 is the first
candidate to be replaced. It acts as a data bus buffer and all the data
is passing through it.
An even more simple check of functionality of IC22 CPU is whether it is
possible to change patches in the sense that the correct LEDs within
the PATCH an BANK buttons come up.
If yes then IC22 is OK.
If no then first check for correct CPU clock and RST signals (perform
RESET adjustment as given in the service manual).

If you have no sound at all for no obvious reason, check the Tape Enable
(nTE) signal, which comes from the TAPE ENABLE switch, disables the
overall VCA via IC5 and IC35 and holds the voices' gate latches (IC4,
IC5 on *KLM-366*) in reset state.

Good luck!

Johannes

Hi,
Great!! That's good information, I'll do the tests with my scope and 
let you know,
thanks,

Re: Polysix no sound

2005-12-14 by Gregor Quade

I found out the 4556D on the panel board (369) is an oamp for the
volume..Gil said those get down often..so check this one..

Hope it might help.

The 4xxx are very cheap to get, I'd personally replace any suspective 
one, be careful with the unsoldering process

Re: Polysix no sound => good sound

2005-12-15 by hansomchaam

Hello,
After fixing the battry problem there was still no sound so I got 
into complex research.
Thanks to Johannes Hausensteiner who helped me step by step by 
interpreting pictures of my measured signals the problem is located.
With a little bit of shame I admit that the problem was simply..... 
ALL of the keyboard keys are bad, more than 5 kohm when pressing so 
I have to clean them as on old-crows site.
Thanks everyone for the helpfull tips.
Han.
