"Very clean early 80's Korg Mono/Poly. It is in remarkable condition for its age with only a few minor marks/ indentations/ flaking vinyl on the sides, bottom edge, and front panel. There is no sun damage to the knobs as you normally see. The screws (except for a couple on the back of the synth) still have that original shine. The white Korg logo on the back is very clean and shiny. The front corners are not all chipped up as you normally see on these synths. For the most part it looks nearly brand new. Please see photos for details. 
The synth is functioning as it should. All keys play the correct notes, all sliders function, all knobs work and aren't scratchy, the keyboard scaling and filter are correctly calibrated. Voltage is standard US voltage. There are no issues with the functionality of the synth.The synth comes with the original manual, original patch sheets manual, and a rare overlay that I assume was used in stores to show the capabilities of the synth. I believe I also have the original box somewhere in a storage closet. I keep everything! If I have it, and I can find it, I'll include it in the auction but will ship it double-boxed to preserve the collector value of the synth.
A MIDIpolis MIDIpoly MIDI kit has been professionally installed in this Mono/Poly to allow it to be controlled externally using a MIDI sequencer or computer. The kit is completely reversible (no soldering) and all parts that were removed will be included in the supplied plastic case. I'm not sure why you would want to reverse the kit though. The MIDIpoly kit brings the Mono/Poly into the modern age and makes it a much more useful synth. All the original functions of the Mono/Poly are kept. The following functions are added:
- Key notes are sent and received as MIDI on the selected MIDI channel
- VCO's can be triggered individually by velocity
- Notes generated by the arpeggiator are also sent as MIDI
- Received Pitch Bend MIDI data alters pitch bend
- Received Modulation CC MIDI messages alter filter cutoff
- Received Portamento Time CC MIDI messages switch portamento on/off
- A new sample and hold modulation can be routed
- Keyboard action is significantly improved
- The EFFECTS button now does not reset the key assign mode to unison
- Arpeggio can be synced to MIDI clock (various clock settings)"
