RE: [PolySix] Re: Help! My Polysix needs to warm up for 4 hours

2009-11-11 by Andrew Jury

Oliver,

 

When you say it 'sounds bad' what do you mean? Out of tune, dysfunctional,
distorted, etc? It is common for a 'board of this vintage to take around 30
minutes to 'warm up', but 4 hours? Could be lots of things wrong I can think
of. If you can describe how the instrument sounds after say 15 minutes on
from cold? Perhaps even make a recording and post it. That would be a great
help!

 

Cheers,

Andy

I think the battery is allright. It looks fine and the saved sounds work
(after warming up - 4 hours).
Any other ideas?
