Korg Poly-61 repair session

"Getting lots of questions about repairing the Korg Poly-61, most of them related to the digital clock/synchronization of the DCOs, i decided to create a video about this.

It's not only Poly-61 specific, i also tell you something about equipment you should have, some simple safety measures and an introduction into general debugging techniques before it comes to the Poly-61 specific stuff.

Originally i thought this wouldn't be very spectacular as the Poly-61 worked last time i used it, but i was surprised to find a real defect during creating this video :)

Sorry for the focus problems and some other minor glitches, this was a very spontaneous idea and due to the usual lack of time, i didn't have an eye on perfection here. It took lots of hours to create this - making it better would eat up several weekends i think. I hope you understand that i prefer to do lots of other, more important stuff.

And after some very bad experience here at YouTube, i want to add this disclaimer - not meant for the ones who give positive feedback and thus keep those videos online, but meant for those with a destructive nature only being able to criticize the work of others:
The meanings and processes i show and describe here are my personal meanings and ways i work. If you have different meanings and processes, i will not try to convince you of my way to do stuff and expect you to also tolerate my ideas - so i will simply delete insulting comments.
If you think, i'm doing it wrong, simply make it better. I just try to help."
