That's exactly what I was thinking about recently. It would be easier to rackmount it adding completely new controll board, than MIDIfy P6 with allit's knobs, buttons, and other stuff. If there was enough interest, I might consider making controll board for it. It would consist of LCD text display, few knobs and buttons. You could then rip out voicing board and chorus board from the P6 (toss everything else) connect them to new controll board and put into case. This gives added features like internal memory for 100s of patches, sysex download, and even multitimbrality if you used 2 voicing boards from 2 P6. Somebody stop me from dreaming...

If you're going to get high-tech, why not go for that "Legacy Software" (is
it a Korg product?) that puts the P6, and several other classics, on your
computer. From what I've read the virtual PolySix is better than the
original. Of course, you don't have real knobs...

No? Do tell.
I've only read reviews, and Korg's own stuff. The enhancements (polyphony
etc) sound good, but not having heard it, I can't actually say whether it
does 'sound' good.
Have you, or anyone else, used it much?

i use a real polysix about once or twice a week, i'm in a band using polysix, mono/poly and a triton. i can't imagine that a soft synth of a polysix would sound the same or better. my opinion is it will sound different, but that's not always a bad thing. but i haven't ever played with a software polysix so i wouldn't know for certain. i love analog controls, i've played with usb midi controllers and software before and it just doesn't feel the same to me, regardless of sound it just feels better playing a synth instead of a replica of. but i imagine the software version still sounds cool!

Rackmounting P6 is not a high-tech task. It's still the same P6, the sound is the same, and you can connect any MIDIbox to have real knobs. You may use better keyboard of your choice. I don't like softsynths, I want the real thing.

Re: [PolySix] Rack Mount?

I agree although I don't really know the ms20. It's certainly not better than a real p6 though. Some of the sounds on mine sound like they've come from a 'real' acoustic, concrete source and not a synthesizer. The emulator doesn't sound like this to me. I don't like softsynths either, or rackmounts that much. It kind of feels like DL'ing an album off the internet as opposed to buying it from the shops. I also, want the real thing bye Christian Andersson <synth_christian@home.se> wrote:

I have only tested it briefly in a music shop, but I was genuinely impressed. Better than the original? No, rather identical to the original. It really sounds the same. I would say the difference between the virtual and my own P6 is no larger than the difference between two different original P6s. Someone said "of course you don't have real knobs". But that is in fact precisely what you have with the Legacy - real knobs. The 85% size MS-20 MIDI panel has mappings for the P6 as well. Of course you will have to get used to the different layout of the MS-20, but otherwise it truly feels as if you are in direct contact with the actual synthesizer. I specifically tested the filter resonance and cut freq - the most sensitive part of the synth - and it just felt like the real thing. Other than that, the experience of having a cardboard MS-20 that actually works is puzzling. One part of me says it'a a heaven send for those that are too touchy about bringing the real thing out of the basement, while another part of me says that it just feels fake. I think I would consider it an ideal solution if you don't want to expose the real deal to hard road use. But I would still use the original to record with. In any case, if you are at all into softsynths, I think the Legacy package is worth the price for the spoof MS-20 as a MIDI-controller alone. Even if it is just a bunch of knobs with a MIDI out plug, it just looks COOL - no matter what soft synth is behind it. /Frank
