"Up for auction is the mighty Korg Mono/Poly. You probably know all about it so let's talk about this particular unit:
It is a european version (220v) and one of the latest model (you can tell by the PCB revision).
The unit is in very good cosmetical condition. The wooden side, which are the weak point of the beast, are here in a rather good condition (though there are some scuff on the corners). The only real esthetic flaw are the two wheel intensity knobs that are not original ones.
Electronically it is working perfectly. I have serviced and calibrated it. The filtre chipset (SSM2044) and main cpu (D8049c) are new.

And also I did some modification that improve the MonoPoly a lot:
- MG1 normal/fast speeds switch: add a fast speed mode for MG1. This allows for more metalic and FMish sound when used in FX, VCF modulation or PWM.
- VCF EG speed switch: add a fast speed mode for the VCF enveloppe. It make the enveloppe and synth snappier.
- VCA EG speed switch : same as above but applies to the VCA
- Disable the reset of the keyboard algorithm when switching in FX-Mode
- Disable the reset of MG2 when playing a new chord in arpeggiator mode"
