Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

OK. Pin 16 on CN10 is ground but just about anywhere earthy will do. What
you are looking for a nice set of rectangular pulses on pins 1-14. If you
see nothing measure the voltages on these pins. If they are all lower then
2v then I think we can assume the CPU has stalled or something just as
tragic! If you reused the black ceramic resonator from the old board make
sure the legs haven¹t dropped off. They do come adrift at will. Come to
think of it also see if there is a pulse at pin 1 of the CPU, that should
tell us a lot.

Cheers,
Andy
