Re: [PolySix] anyone have an IC6 (key assigner 8049 217) left over from KIWI install?

To be honest to you too, I personally find the polysix arpeggiator to be very unique in the way that it chooses notes when multiple ranges of octaves are held down. I've written entire songs by programming a handful of externally sent in MIDI notes to be sustained for specific lengths, then shift to different notes, so on and so forth, simply letting the polysix arp to its magic. It does something quite unusual when leaping around and creates fantastic new phrases.
I sold my polysix about a year ago for various reasons, but none of them because the polysix wasn't an instrument worth loving! I miss it. However, the thing I miss most is the arpeggiator.

That's cool about the SH101 thing. Very good to know and I might actually pursue that too! Thanks.

Anyone have an IC6?

Cheers

Hello

To be honest: what do you expect from it? You'll get a polyphonic six
voice arpeggiator, which has poor (or even none) V/Oct settings. Do you
own six analogue voices in a modular synth?

What might be more interesting is getting the SH-101 processor from
someone who did the SH-1oh1 modification by tubbutec.de. You might ask
Tobias Münzer from tubbutec.de, whether he has some.

Florian
