Re:sequencer and chord memory not working

Re:sequencer and chord memory not working

2014-02-23 by matthillier33

Hi to everyone , so i justr got a secondhand poly 800  mk 2 and the sequencer doesnt seem to be engaging when i click the enable switch on the back , it seems locked onto play ? 

The chord memory seems to be doing the same ...

has anyone any ideas on what these may be ? the memory seems to be working fine and storing patches , all edits etc , everything else works fine...

Hi,
it could be just the switch: contaminated contacts inside the switch or bad contact to PCB due to solder fail. Needs some work to find out if it is either one of the cases.

Best regards,
Sami
