Yes, I am familiar with your project. Cool stuff! I developed a PIC
replacement for the key assigner on the Poly6, which plugs into the same
socket and replicates the fcn of the original code, but adds MIDI note on and
off capability. Replacing those old slow Intel CPU's with a PIC or an AVR chip
is sort of like "shooting fish in a barrel" (haven't heard that expression in a while!).

Regarding a modern CPU to replace the 8048, I
replaced my Polysix's Key Assigner with an Arduino Mega.
 Here's a quick overview...

I've shared my code for the Key
Assigner, though there are some caveats: (1) it's super
ugly code, and (2) it assumes that you've already
replaced your keybed with a MIDI keybed.  With that said,
the code is here:
