Calibrating the KLM-366B board
2009-08-26 by Malte Rogacki
Hello everyone; I'm trying to figure out what exactly the various trimmers do and how they interact. While I've read through the group archives and think I got the basic procedure I'm still not completely happy with the tuning of my Polysix. It's mostly within the 5 cent mark but I still hope I can improve on this. Let me see if I got this right: VR1, VR2 and VR3 basically affect the CV coming from the key assigner circuit. VR10 and VR11 for each voice determine how the voice reacts to the CV. So my assumption is that VR3 basically tunes the very low end (16', C1) while VR2 should tune then the very high end (4', C6). This in theory should result in VR1 tuning the very middle (8', C3 to C4). So where does VR15 come in? What's the difference to VR1? How does it interact with VR1? The description from the service manual seems to hint that VR15 is heavily used for the tuning. My problem is that I can get C2 and C6 pretty easily to be in tune, but then usually C3 to C5 are somewhat off. So far I've tried various combinations but I notice very little difference. -- Malte Rogacki
