Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

I've definitely seen some Polysix's where VR2 seemed to do nothing and
others where it behaved as expected. I never did figure that one out.
 
You didn't mention VR14. This is the one most responsible for scaling in the
upper octaves. It's the one marked D#4-E4 ADJ.
 
You didn't mention which resistor you replaced or what values, but I assume
it is R93. When replacing the photocoupler with a Silonex or Vactrol part, I
always try putting in a precision trimmer pot here, moving VR1,2,3,14 to
their center positions and adjusting the new trimmer for best scaling before
making adjustments to the other controls.

question


  

Just a thought.... Check the operation of IC31 (s/h in at pin 3, demux at
pin 2).

You won¹t be able to fix the problem in a blind panic. Just stop, think and
take a deep breath.

Good luck,
Andy
