The only sound I seem to be able to get out of this, with it
completely cranked up, is when the noise potentiometer is turned up,
and the resonance and cutoff turned up. I can get a very faint hissy
noise when I'm playing, and if I turn the resonance and cutoff while
playing it changes the noise like you'd expect it to. Just almost
completely inaudible, this was all the way up and then fed into a
mixer with the gain all the way up.

I did try all the settings you recommended and did not hear
the "thwumppp" or the "click". I checked the wiring and it looked
fine, I reseated connectors.

I took the knobs off and backed the nuts off the pots, and took the
CN16 connector off and measured pin 3, but I didn't seem to be
getting anything. Should I be measuring it from the wire harness that
goes into it That's where I measured it. I could be doing something
wrong. I did not check the CN2 pin 3, I was having difficulty finding
it and had to quickly come up with an alternate solution for
performing this wednesday night.

I'm still hoping though, do you have any other recommendations based
on what sound it's making, or by anything else I've written Thanks
so much for your input and time. I was much happier with a working
mono/poly. I own a polysix as well, and these two synths have gone
down so many times on me before shows, and during shows. . . I really
ought to get the Korg Legacy 2007 and start performing with
emulation. I still want to write and record with the real thing, just
can't rely on them any longer it seems without becoming a tech!
