Korg Polysix Analog Synthesizer pt.1

vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Korg Polysix Analog Synthesizer from the year 1982

part1: the Polysix Arpeggiator and different VCO, VCF, Envelope and Effect settings (drums: TR-808)
part2: some typical Polysix sounds coming soon in 2-3 weeks

The Korg Polysix is a very nice analog synths with a great sound. The sound is very different to the Juno synths.
The sound-character of the SSM filter, the Effect Sektion with Chorus, Phaser and Ensemble is really fantastic.
!!! The internal Ni/Cd accu has a leakage problem and destroy the circuit board. Remove the accu quickly! Check my page for more info.

@unknowntomillions

das stimmt!

Möchte nicht wissen wie vielen P-6 der ausgelaufene Akku schon das Leben gekostet hat.

Hi Marco, was wondering when you would get a polysix! Excellent demo as always, you make us all jealous...as always..:):):)

It sounds a bit warmer than a juno, would you agree? The 2 oscillators do sound different, and the pwm sounds very nice. A true classic. I have the korg legacy polysix, but never use it, sounds just like every other soft synth:(

Hi Mick, thanks a lot. The Polysix sound is more lush than the Juno, more like a old stringmachine. The phaser and ensemble effects are fantastic for soft strings like Solina. The Juno is much more agressive and the bass is deeper. The sound is very different but I like both. When you can find a Polysix without battery leakage for a good price , buy it! cheers

Wenn ich mir einen anschaffen wollte, wo müßte ich da suchen? Ich meine nicht Ebay! Danke schon mal für die Antwort!

[Polysixchick]

what drum machine have you connected it to? would it work with an 808 trigger?

[amonster8mymother]

How do I sync my poly6?

MARCO ROCKS!!!!!

This is a six-voice, two-oscillator synth. In unisono-mode (like you hear it here) there are 12 oscillators stacked and detuned for every single note. He is using the onboard 'ensemble' effect on this too.
