Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

I added a small wire to connect the Gnd end of C22, and the PolySix still works fine.
Better to have the cap connected.

There are a number of different oscillator types.   I believe the std MCU one
is called a Pierce oscillator.   If you really want to learn more about it, here is a link:

       wonder what happens if you sub in a 22pf (?) surely
 each leg of the resonator needs to see a different
 capacitance for a reason? perhaps to get it going in the
 first place? Though even with two ten pf caps I guess there
 may be as much as one picofarad difference? Maybe it's
 enough? just curious...
