Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi all,

I'm selling my polysix. (gasp) Its been good to me, but I need to make
room for other things.

This one has midi installed. Its a simple note on/off midi
implementation, that essentially tricks the Poly's processor that keys
have been pressed. Pitch bends and mod wheel movements are not
implemented.

The unit has a complete battery refurbishment job on it with NiMH
battery fitted. All six voice VCAs have been replaced by Roland VCA
circuits. These are less noisy and cleaner sounding than the original
transistor VCA. The new VCA chips reside on a small board supported
above the original voice card.

Also fitted on this one is a detune for the unison mode. This goes from
no detune to widely out of tune on one knob. The new knob is positioned
where the LFO LED used to be.

All of the other LEDs have been replaced with a variety new colour ones.
This polysix is very unique.

The wooden casing is rather worn at its corners, but I have seen worse.
The front panel is good for its age, but this is no mint condition unit.

Selling price £400. Shipping would be £30 in the UK.

Regards,
