Looks like it probably does the same thing for the Poly-61 as it does for the Poly-800. It's intended to "zero" the center position. Only problem is, the center tap is the fist to fail on those pots.

You could try and lift R54 and or R14 (temporary and very carefully) and see if it changes the behavior of the synth. I doubt it does.

yeah you can see a possible issue with a shorter stick, less precise control - 
but i've always wondered if those little PS2 mushroom things could have a 
role as another control input device.
you get one on the hercules dj box, and it can be assigned as a midi control, 
i think.
you could use the cick down action as an incrementor or something, to set 
range of the x/y axes(?) - i still think a panel-mounted encoder rotary would 
be nice instead of inc/dec - mainly for quicker hands-on edits if you don't 
want to go to the PC or a control board. just my take on this- a novation remote 
is the obvious choice otherwise(especially a keyboard on with the x/y+joystick).
