Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hi.
I try to recreate the classic Jarresound of Oxygene.
I used  the ensemble effect at max depth in chain with an external
phaser, an original 1974 MXR Phase 90.
You can listen the results.

Hi Giorgio,

Nice tribute. Sounds are lush and sweet. Did you use a Theremin in this?

btw, where did you find the 1974 phaser? Some of those old effects units
can give a really lovely sound.

Thanks for posting you work.

Cheers,

Oliver

Thanks
No. I own a theremin too, but in this recording I used an analog
monosynth with lot of portamento.

I found this many years ago in a garage of a friend.It's rare because
is 100% original (not a reissue) so sound true vintage.

I wonder about the possibility of the Polysix.A friend was at the live
show of Jarre in Ljubljana and found the sound of Eminent not so far
from my Polysix.

Cheers
Giorgio.

Merry Christmas to all, Giorgio, yours "synth voice" is just fantastic, 
even more colorful than Jarre's Putney! Can you make a sample to share 
with syn-friends?
Thanks a lot.
Jan

A bit of Polysix in there too...;)

I'll view it after a friend's radio show in Nashville, Tennesee is 
over.  I'm listening via computer so I have to wait.

In addition to two real P6s, one of which has a MIDI kit in it, I have 
the P6 Legacy softsynth.  In my computer, I have a set up that plays two 
notes in octaves for every note I play on the controller.  The soft P6's 
output is then phased for a very JMJ-like sound.  I smile every time I 
play that patch!  I should try using the MIDIed *real* P6 as the 
controller... ;-)

Cheers,

Bill
