KORG POLY-800 HQ DEMO - Vintage Synthesizer 1984


YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"The Korg Poly-800 came out 1984 and is a interesting analog synthesizer with good, interesting sounds. It has MIDI, runs even with batteries, and can be used as a remote keyboard. It was cheap, almost every musician could afford one.

It has DCO's and a VCF - a real analog filter. It also has 3 envelopes and a noise generator. A shame that it doesn't have something like RING MOD. or OSC SYNC. But okay, it was small and cheap.

In this movie I show you some of my own sounds - without any added effects or equalizing. Really, it CAN sound excellent, if you program your own sounds. Some of the factory presets are ok, but not always that great...

The Poly-800 is great for analog pads, sequencer sounds and leads."
