I have a PolySix that is in great shape, except that the 6 synths are out of whack. That is, you get a different sound each time you hit the same key. I tried to make it louder a little while back, and ended up adjusting the wrong pots. After downloading the PolySix service manual and trying out a few things, I'm stuck with a screwed-up synth. I have an auto-ranging digital voltmeter and found a pretty good oscilliscope app (SignalScope) for the Mac. From what I can tell, though, I'll need a real scope that I can connect to the circuits. Is that correct, or can I just use the output from the 1/4 inch signal out jack? Also, it appears I need a "dummy 56Kohm 2-pin connector"--what is that, exactly, and where is the KLM-376 2P plug? I see a few plugs on that board but none with 2 pins. I haven't done a lot of electronics work, beyond putting PCs together and a botched attempted to build a stomp-box, but I'm a reasonably smart guy and I love messing around with stuff. Would I be getting in over my head to try to calibrate this PolySix? Would the cost of getting it repaired be less than the cost of a scope? Thanks for any advice. DGB
