Strange acting of my poly

Strange acting of my poly

2007-10-22 by satnom2000

Hi everyone

I finally perform the mods that I wanted to do from a long time, but unfortunately since 
then I have problem with memory.  I have a Mk1 poly with no back up battery.  I did the 
eprom mod to be able to load some patches with sysex.  It works great.  Also I did the 
moogslayer mod.  And recently i did the FM800 and the audio input mod as well the 12/
24 DB filter.  Everything work well.  I'm really happy about it, but it looks that I have a 
problem with the power supply since then.  I can't save patches anymore.  When I turn off 
the poly I loose everything, even when the poly is plug.  Is this ring a bell to somebody?
Also, I noticed something else .  Before the mod (FM800-audio in, 12/24), I was able to 
cut off the frequency near zero.  I really loved that because I was able to do some 
interesting wooshing FX, but now when I turn the knob way down, I can't turn the  
frequencies  to zero, I still heard a sound.  Is this related to a mod that I perform?  
I hope that is clear enough.  I'm sorry, my english is poor.  I hope someone will get it.

Thank for your answer.
Bernard

One of my poly800 came without a battery. I installed one on that too because it didn't keep the patches. I used a brand new 2032 battery for pcb. I preferred it over a pcb battery holder + battery assembly because I gig regularly with that poly 800 and it seemed much more solid (I have also a 15$ mp3 player with all the patches saved in my keyboard bag :) )

Thank you Marco,

Yes, I will do the battery mod, but for now, the problem is worst than I tought.  My poly do 
not retains the patch even when the power is on.  Let say I program a patch, I write it in 
memory, and after that if  I change the patch number and I come back,  I loose 
everything???

i would suggest you load all patches back to factory,

it is highly likely the patch memory has some bad data in it, so by replacing it all to factory, you may find this improves your situation

best regards,

Thank you Marcus for your suggestion.  I already try that but the memory still not retains 
the patches.  I think i'll try to do the memory backup battery mod.  I guess something 
happens when I did all the modifications.  May be I broke a connection at the power 
supply.  It sound weird but I can't  find an other explication.
