Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi All,

Got a Polysix I've been working on and voices 1 and 3 are not sounding.

The leds show they're being triggered.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tony

SSM 2044 ?

Hi,

I swapped both the SSM2044s and 2056s around for the dead voices and found that all 4 aren't working.

Following on, the remaining SSM2044s have differing volume levels specific to the chip - not slot.

I've reposition the ICs so I have voices 1-4 working and 5/6 not.

Will calibration sort out the sound levels and sonic inconsistencies for the working voices ?

Regards
Tony

Hi,

Are you sure both the 2044 and 2056 are dead for both of the dead voices?
I mean, have you swapped only one with a working voice and verified that the broken voice is still not fixed, PLUS that the previously working voice stops working at the same time?
Just want to make sure that you don't only test the broken voices and swap chips until it works and then assume all the swapped chipes were toast.

BR,
Peter

Hi Peter.

I took the "best" pair (SSM2044+SSM2056) and placed them in different slots - slots are fine.

I then placed the 2 broken 2044s with the best 2056 - no sound with either.

I then placed the 2 broken 2056s with the best 2044 - no sound again.

Any ideas before I replace them ?

Best,
Tony

Well, it pretty much sounds like you've narrowed it down to those 4 chips then.
Though I would be worried as to why two voices were killed like that.

BR,
Peter

Perhaps it's a good idea to check supply voltages.
