This is episode five in the Polysix restoration series. In this episode, I diagnose the no-sound issue I discovered at the end of episode 4, diagnose and fix the filter resonance, calibrate the filters, envelopes, oscillators and effects, then add the special noise-reducing grounding circuitry. Lastly I test it and button up the case! The very first synthesizer I ever bought, back in 1987, was a Korg Polysix. These venerable synths have a monster sound, but time is not kind to their inner electronics. In this video series, I will take a nonfunctional Polysix with severe internal damage and make it better than new, bringing modern capabilities, MIDI, and better quality sound while retaining what makes the PolySix so special! Join me on this restoration journey.
