KORG Poly 800 Programmable Synthesizer

via this auction
" * Full polyphonic capabilities from 8 separately articulated voices
* Eight digital-controlled oscillators for outstanding pitch stability
* Double playing mode for rich, complex layers from pairing of two different oscillators and envelope generators per voice. "Whole" mode provides full 8-note playing capability.
* 64 different programs, excellent retro sounds a-plenty including warm Stereo Chorus
* Built-in poly sequencer stores and performs up to 256 notes. Start them, stop them, and remotely clock via standard MIDI signals
* MIDI allows Poly 800 to be linked with other MIDI keyboards/equipment
* Digital Access Control of program parameters for creation and editing in detail for your own sounds.
* Download your program and sequencer data to a tape for storage in seconds; reload default parameters using the included preset original data tape
* Noise generator adds "breathy wash" for more realistic retro instrument sound and for use in many special effects
* Lightweight, with strap buttons to allow for live performance on the move as a "Keytar"

With original accessories including Korg POWER SUPPLY; DATA TAPE of preset program and sequence data (I'll include the cord I've always used to load data to/from the unit); OPERATING MANUAL with printout of preload PROGRAM LIST and parameters, allowing you to see sub-settings for gentle tweaking. The ONLY thing missing on this unit is the little battery door cover. This poses no problem. I simply created my own from a piece of plastic secured with plastic tape and never had a problem."
