Re: Poly fans - need a little help

Great! That sounds exactly the same as what my Poly is doing although
there is a slight detune at the high maximum but I know what that is
being caused by.

Last night I also got into the DCO and VCF MG using the Y axis on the
joystick and got close to making it work too.

Progress - slow but steady.

Mike.
