do you know anything about the korg 2069 VCF/VCA chips? i picked up a DW-sometning synth at a thrift store – i wish it worked cuz my name is dave wright – but anyway i guted it cuz it was screwed up. curious if anyone on here has messed with the chip at all – i talked to someone who had – and got some pinout/info on the chips – but thats it so far.
this goes onto the point of gutting ‘classics’ for parts. the way i see it – if you have it – use it. the vco chips from the polaris have been in my modular laquarto for awhile – but i moved them into the new modular nestor.

….just ignore them.

Too damn many “precious classics” of the 70s and 80s were cheaply and shoddily made and are now turning into rubbish, yet people continue to obsess (and pay too much $ for them). Membrane keypads were a bad idea no matter what they were attached to.

(Don’t ask me about the Pro-One or the Polysix. Certain readers won’t like what I have to say. Already posted my feelings about the ARP Quadra.)
