Hello!
I'm working on full polysynth desig and need add a Keyboard Volume Balance control, like the korg ps-3200 (amp). I have read the service manual, but I could not understand how it works.
Someone could help me and explain how it works?

Thanks!!!

Marco.

From memory (don't have the schomos in front of me):

There is s atring of resistors (series connection) and each end goes into a summing amplifier. Now each voice taps into a different position of this resistor string - lowest note on one end, highest note on the other end, middle note in the middle. Then a pot (or a set of two LDRs on the 3200) crossfades between the two summing amplifie routputs.

Thanks.
I analyzed the servive manual KORG PS3xxx series. I did the simulation and experimental tests. I will use the following circuit for my project. The balance could be achieved with the scheme is a "soft balance", but enough for my synth project.
