Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hello J,

you are of course right about how wonderful the arpeggiator in the P6 
is, but still there is the question: what soundgenerator do you want to 
control with it? You have to rebuild the complete Voiceboard including 
the VCOs!

The CPU and the D/A converter output a multiplexed "nearly V/Oct" 
voltage without any trimming. If you control a normal CV-Synth with this 
voltage, it will sound like "cats chant" (german saying). The trimming 
happens within a common exponentiator for all voices and then is 
demulitiplexed as six V/Hz voltages. The VCOs of the P6 are V/Hz (this 
is, why the P6 is that amazing stable in relative tune).


If you want the P6-Arpeggiator and want it to send MIDI-NOtes, then get 
the tubbutec CPU for the P6 (https://tubbutec.de/modypoly/). You may use 
it nearly standalone and it will send the Arpeggio via MIDI-Out and(!) 
will read the notes from MIDI-In.
