Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Which is it 15, 12, or 5? Could I replace it with a newer one, maybe from Radio Shack or 
something?

Amp?  what do you mean by Amp?

Sorry, I guess I mean power supply. My arp has problems keeping a
consistent speed. Though the power supply might be going bad.

The power supply isn't a store-replaceable item if I remember
correctly...   It certainly wouldn't hurt to change out all the
electrolytic capacitor in the supply though.

Hi,

I tend to agree with CJP! The appegiator in the P6 is controlled by a 
NE555 timer chip located on the KLM-371 board. Check the values of 
capacitors C1, C2, C3 and C5 which deal with the timing. Also check 
the setting of variable resistor VR1 as per the calibration section 
of the service manual. I am of the opinion that the PSU is probably 
outputting the right voltages as other weird things might be 
happening too. The 555 timer runs off the +5V rail. So does most of 
the TTL logic on the processor board (KLM-367)! There is a 
calibration section in the service manual for the PSU. You'll need a 
DVM though. If in doubt call in a qualified electronics tech to have 
a look!

Cheers,
Andy
