Korg Poly 61 problem. Help needed, please!

Korg Poly 61 problem. Help needed, please!

2009-01-11 by letcista

Hello group.
I'm having problems with a poly 61.
I know this is a Polysix group but... maybe someone can help me.
The problem is that DCO1 produces very low sound when sawtooth wave is 
selected and barely no sound when one of the other two waves are 
selected.
DCO2 works fine as all the remaining functions.
Any sugestions?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards.
José.

All the opinions will be appreciated!
The problem appeared after the installation of the Korg MIDI kit…

Hi Jose,

Where did you get the MIDI kit from and who installed it?

Cheers,

Hello Andy:
Wasn't me. The Poly is from a friend of mine.
He bought the kit from a former korg representative in the UK and installed
it himself.
Best regards.

Re: Korg Poly 61 problem. Help needed, please!

Hi Jose,

So we have one Poly-61 fitted with the Korg MIDI kit at some stage in 
the UK. You now own this keyboard, it was working OK, but now DCO1 
has virtually no output. 

We'll have to put it out to the group as my knowledge of this 
instrument is not great. Can you tell me what your level of expertise 
in electronics is like? You might want to compare the output from the 
programmable interval timers (IC4/5 and IC13/14) and verify they are 
counting correctly. You might also want to measure the output from 
the DCOs starting at the VCF and working backwards. Do you have the 
KLM-476 or 508 type synth board?

If you need a copy of the scheamtic drop me a private message, but I 
must warn you my copy is not very good.

Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Andrew.
I have a KLM-508 board.
Unfortunately I don’t have an oscilloscope at the moment…
I have spare IC4 and IC13 and can replace them at the board.
I’ll forward the results.
Best regards.
José
