"Korg Polysix (61 keys) from 1981 in good condition. This is a true analog piece that sounds original. The Polysix has warm-sounding real analog oscillators, softer and brassy-er sounding that the Juno. Engage the built-in Chorus on a simple single-oscillator sawtooth patch and you were pretty darned close to that expensive Prophet sound. But the big ace in the Polysix's hand was the Ensemble effect. Instant Mellotron-like strings. 6 voice polyphony, 1 VCO per voice (saw, PW, PWM) + 1 sub-oscillator per voice, 1 LFO assignable to VCA,VCF or VCO. Chorus, phaser and ensemble effect. Really good Arpeggiator (Up, Down, Up/Down, Latch; Full, 2-oct, 1-oct; rate 0.2 to 20 Hz)"
