Rough Sounding Polysix
2003-09-14 by adamjgarner
Hello, This is my first posting - I've recently become the owner of a slightly battered Korg Polysix. Everything seems to be working ok memories, controls etc (although the battery mod will need carrying out), the problem is the way it sounds. Although the machine basically seems to be in tune, it seems that some sort of high frequency modulation has been superimposed on all the oscillators viewing the output on an oscilloscope shows this to be the case, all six voices behave the same, so I think that the fault lies on the pitch CV generation. This modulation is not related to the MG. Looking at R152 on each voice block with the `scope shows a sawtooth wave, should this be a level DC value? Also the waveform at the V/Oct test point has a large step in it even with all six voices at the same pitch. Has anybody got any suggestions of what may be causing this, and where to start checking. Regards Adam
