Restored Korg Polysix Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Recently serviced Korg Polysix in great condition. The cpu board had corrosion from a bad battery so the KLM-367A board was replaced with mostly new components. The entire synthesizer was calibrated and it has been tuned and scaled with an original factory patch set loaded in. All pots and switches were cleaned as well. Everything functions 100% and sounds great. Cosmetically, the hold button is missing it's cover, but still has the actuator intact and functions perfectly. One of the keys was previously repaired but also works perfectly. Also, it is missing the little plastic pieces that are used to wind the power cord around. Other than that, just a few scratches and dings here and there. It's a solid keyboard that's ready for the road or studio."

Kawai K-3 Digital Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

Note the listing has this as a wavetable synth. It's not in the sense of a Waldorf wavetable synth which allows you to use a modulations source such as an LFO or envelope to scan through them in real time. On the K-3 you simply select a digital wave shape for each oscillator much like on any standard PCM based synth. The filter on the K3, however, is an SSM based analog filter.

"The next version of chipspeech (free for any current users) will include the official Speak & Spell vocabulary files. For this occasion we've decided to do a comparison between our own 'bent' S&S and chipspeech's emulated TMS5XXX engine.

The output is post-processed with chipcrusher's S&S impulse and a slight bit of verb was added to match the ambiance of our office."

New Make Noise soundhack tELHARMONIC Tutorial Video

Published on Aug 3, 2015 MAKEN0ISE

"The tELHARMONIC is a Multi-Voice, Multi-Algorithm synthesizer module named for the music hall considered by some to be the location of the first electronic music concerts. It was coded by Tom Erbe with the goal of presenting three historically important pioneering electronic tone generation techniques less often implemented within the modular synthesizer.

The tELHARMONIC's roots go back further than the advent of electronic music, as it also takes a new approach to handling music theory in the modular context. TONIC, INTERVAL, DEGREE and D-GATE, allow for patch-programming of complex chord progressions, scales, melodies and playing styles. This Voltage Controlled Music Theory guides the Algorithms in a unified way, whereas CENTROID, FLUX and H-LOCK sculpt the timbre of each Algorithm uniquely, allowing for complex sounds to be created around a unified melodic structure and pattern.

3 Voice Additive Harmonic synthesis inspired by Thaddeus Cahill's Telharmonium, 1897 http://120years.net/the-telharmonium-...

Noise synthesis inspired by early computer music piece "Analog 1: Noise Study" by James Tenney, 1961

3 Voice Phase Modulation synthesis inspired by early commercial digital synthesis, 1980's

CENTROID, FLUX and H-LOCK animate each Algorithm uniquely

All Algorithms available simultaneously at their respective outputs

6 octaves of continuous 1V/ Octave pitch control

4 octaves of quantized pitch control

Voltage Controlled Music Theory

DEGREE Modulation able to be synchronized by clock or gate via D-Gate input

Gate Out completes the conversation between tELHARMONIC and rest of system!

Utilizes High performance DSP hardware with 24bit, 48kHz codec, 32 bit floating point processing

Reasonable power consumption

Pairs well with Optomix"

Note the listing has ended. It was a non working unit and sold for $26. Capturing the pics and info for the archives. These are the first pics of the PSP on the site. In fact there were only four prior Sycologic posts prior to this one as you can see via the Sycologic channel label at the bottom of this post. Further below are a couple of scanned print ads currently listed here. Unfortunately the scans are not complete so we can only get a glimpse of some of the functionality.

"Here is the 'ArmonConcert' I repaired... a very retro and cheesy 70's Italian keyboard that is actually pretty decent...! It has it's own unique sound. Very interesting to play with... seems to respond well to some external effects too...;)"

This is the first video demo of the ArmonConcert I've seen. One was featured in this audio track. You can find pics of the front panel and some of the inside in this previous post of one for sale.
