It's actually mentioned in the manual. He found that it was caused by something about sample and hold, originally scanning at 50-60hz being increased to a much faster rate. He mentioned he has a working Polysix board he could install if I preferred that option but I think the new features are worth it. My whole setup is built around MIDI.
