I'm using the scanned copies of the Factory Patches hosted in the files section (thanks to the uploader/scanner!) but no matter how many times I try and double and triple check the values listed, I can't seem to replicate how they should sound. For example, the Bank A's A-2 patch: Strings doesn't sound like it should when I enter in the correct values. I believe it should sound something like this:
http://synthmania.com/Korg%20PolySix/Audio/Factory%20Presets%20Bank%20A/A-2%20%20Strings.mp3But instead I hear a pianissimo sounding string section, barely audible. :/
I keep telling myself this wouldn't be so hard if I had an actual polysix, but I'm a poor college student :P
Any more ideas?

I thought all the factory patches were shown at the back of the user manual. Maybe you could recreate them that way?

I know it may be a long shot, but does anyone happen to know if the original Polysix factory patches (Bank A and Bank B) were ever recreated as banks (extension .fxb) or programs (extension .fxp) by Korg or a user for the Korg VST Plugin version of the Polysix released in the KORG Legacy Collection? If so, where could one find them?

I do know that the original factory patches are in the 'files' section as .P6 files, but the VST plugin only recognizes .fxb or .fxp files, it'd be surprising if they recognized the original file type.

Neat, huh? :) The factory patches I'm seeking are most likely the originals used in the show, give or take some tweaking. Right now, I'm trying to use a Yamaha DX7II-FD to cover the patches, but they're still not nearly the same :/
