Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi,

This sounds like another job that might require access to an 
oscilloscope! What might be an idea is to generate a single known 
waveform (i.e. a saw at A440) on one voice and then, starting at the 
output (the hot end of VR1 on the KLM369) work back through the 
signal path until you reach the voice mixer (which is the output from 
op-amp IC10) So:

KLM369 CN15/3 -> KLM368 CN14/1, KLM366 CN14/1

Then compare the waveforms at each waypoint. My feeling here is that 
you might find the signal is getting affected by the circuitry on the 
effects boards. Yes, of course, but not in a way we want. Does the 
nature of the sound change as you operate the effect type and 
intensity at all?

Cheers,
Andy
