Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Polysix can be heard on two cd's of the late trumpeter Miles Davis.
The Polysix was part of the setup of his keyboardist/musical director
at that time, Robert Irving III.
The two cds are:

Decoy - P6 used for arpeggiator on track, "Code M.D."

You're Under Arrest

Polysix is also used in same setup by Irving on the DVD titled:

Miles Davis Live in Montreal.

I have an old video (from 1985). Miles playing at the Austrian Jazz
Festival. Thew Polysix is clearly recognisable.
Interesting thing: I think that the bass player is Marcus Miller;
playing then without his hat ...

The bass player in that video is probably Darryl Jones. He played with
Miles around that time. He plays on the cds and dvd cited in the 
previous post and is quite good. He's played with Sting, Steps Ahead,
the Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour (1997-98), and many others.
His sound is pretty heavily featured on Miles Decoy cd.

the polysix can also be heard in some old productions of Stephan 
Eicher maybe Grauzone too.
