Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

That would be an involved project --
the Polysix, for one, doesn't have an existing Sustain jack, so the most 
difficult part would be devising such a thing (it could be done, but would 
involve modifying the synth).  Will check out the schematics tonight, & see 
what ideas I can come up with.

Don't know about the other devices you listed  -- do they have sustain jacks?
If not, they would also require modification.

As far as a single switch to control multiple synths, that could be easily 
done by using a standard footswitch to control a circuit using a 4066 type 
CMOS electronic switch, which could send the on/off control signals to four 
destinations.  You could also work something similar with an off-the-shelf 
relay.  Depending on how elaborate you want to get, you could also add 
on-off toggles to the individual outputs to control the routing.
