Re: Korg Polysix dead voice

Hi,

Thank you for replying.

I checked the ICs that you mentioned and they seems to be working fine.

What I don't understand is that the KBD Track signal enters at the input pin 3 of IC23 multiplexer and should come out at each output but it's just not there for 2 outputs.

Like I said, I already replace the buffer chip IC21 for those voices and that did not help.

Any other ideas?
Thank you!
