Korg Poly-800 Custom Case

via this auction

"This is not a digital synth as some might say, its a true analouge unit with DCOs which are digital controlled to keep in tune and locked

Serious mod done as you can see to convert it to a stand alone desktop MIDI contolled synth module and finished in a shocking bright orange. 2 extra pots on the front for the "moog slayer" filter cut and resonance speaker blowing ear bleeding mod. Thi is a serious mod and should be used with extreme caution when uping the resonace setting in the presets... 2 osc 8 note poly synth, very simple to program and store sounds, connect to you pc laptop and send sysex info with ease for changing patches and sounds... customised unit made from a full size Poly 800 mk2 Midi in/out - Stereo outputs - Digital delay built in"

  1. the poly 800 uses sampled waveforms of square wave harmonic intervals that are either activated or deactivated, which is in effect an additive square wave oscillator section. The filter how ever is CPU controlled and is analog.

  2. is that true? i thought a DCO was an oscillator controlled by a microprocessor rather than a comparator? like with the juno 106, etc.
