Well, once again...Dave Garfield, "un-Humble Synth-Dweeb" responds:

HI, All!!

The Korg MonoPoly uses an 8049 uP, according to my Repair Manual, while
the older Polysixes used an 8048, and the newer ones an 8049. The
Oberheim Matrix-6 (6R???) uses a 68B09 uP, BTW.  I'm afraid that's all
the info. I have at the moment...
