Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi. I finally got both of my  p6's kind of working. (at least the 367 board
is ok now).
I cant seem to get the 6 voices to be completely in pitch over the entire
keyboard.
If i tune the different voices to be in tune one octave apart, they arent
in perfect tune from lowest octave of the keyboard to the highest octave.
And then if i tune them to be in tune from the lowest to oct to the highest
oct they arent in tune one octave apart. Is it just the way it is with the
polysix or am i doing something wrong?


And: i have a LFO problem. Even though lfo delay is set t zero i still get
about 0.5 sec of delay whenever hitting a key. I cant find a way to
calibrate it - could there be a cap that needs replacing?

thanks:)

Typically the opto-resistor on the 366 is the cause of this scaling problem
when tuning. There is a file on the yahoo group site that has the following
email copied into it:

"I wanted to let you know that I've finally managed to repair my Precious
(Polysix). It was indeed the opto resistor, the PC-1, that was faulty. It
was suggested to me that I replace the old mysterious PC-1 component with a
VTL5C3 and change R93 from 4k7 to 1k2 (to get the VTL5C3 working properly)."

This worked for me too.
