OBERHEIM SYNTH

My recently acquired Matrix1000 also drops a note (every 6th to be 
exact) in polyphonic mode.  I did a test and it seems voice #2 is 
faulty.  I've seen postings elsewhere that this is a common problem 
with these units and a chip needs to be replaced.  I know it's a 
Curtis chip but not the type, the number or availablity.  

Anyone else know more details?

Thanks,
Dan Levey
