Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

> "on the poly setting in that it doesn't play chords properly (misses
some notes).

This could be one of a number of things. Including dead filter chips.
Not that easy to get hold of, and quite expensive. How many notes are
missed? If its only one, its still worth getting it for \ufffd100. You should
be able to play six notes maximum (!)

>Is it a battery-ooze problem or a dirty keys problem or could it be
something else?

Dirty keys would show up in chord memory/unison mode. Battery ooze...
don't think so, but it does do the most strange of things.

>Secondly, if I can get the guy to drop the price to \ufffd100...

Don't pay more than \ufffd100 for it.

>Finally, I have a tame electronics expert who's happy get into the guts
of the machine.

I hope he's a good friend. The battery replacement can be a long job.
Typically towards a day to do it properly, but it very much depends on
the damage. I have seen four now, and all took between four to eight
hours.

The rest of the parts are all available from various sources, although
finding a replacement u-proc would be difficult, although Crow was
having a bash at doing one. Any luck with that one Scott?
