Then I made the Polysix adjustment procedure from the service manual ,
everything is well done... but the problem is that the sound of some presets of the "factory presets A" hear very bad (noisy) , here some example A3, A7, B6) on all of 6 voices:

some other has no problem p ex A1 ...it is very strange!
no change front knob, and it is the original presets

I repaired a P6 with a similar problem once (some patches working and 
others not and you couldn't overwrite the not working ones) and it 
turned out to be the memory chip. That particular chip seems to be very 
delicate and I have replaced a few of them over the years. Vintage 
planet has spares and I may have a couple in my parts bin if you are 
stuck finding one.

hi Murray,

Thank you  for your quick response! the memory chip was replaced by  a TC5514APL-3 chip because the old mermory "HM472114-3" consumed a lot of current power ... i have also replaced all capacitor from effect board , and some at KLM 366

ps:when i turn cutoff knob to 10  the problematics sounds seems good ,without noise ...(but I have evidently no   cutoff effect)
