Vintage Korg PolySix Analog Synthesizer w/MIDI

via this auction

"This Korg Polysix (Poly Six) comes from a smoke free studio environment, at Innermuze Studios of Metro-Detroit.

The Polysix (P6) for sale is in excellent condition and comes with MIDI from the Canadian company MIDITEC!

This Polysix has been modified (modded) so that the internal battery is not located on the KLM-367 board as originally designed. If researched, one will find that this original location caused corrosion on the main section of the data controlling of the keyboard itself. There was some signs of corrosion in this area but all has been cleaned and tested, and any necessary jumpers have been soldered in place to ensure proper functionality. And for those who may be asking, yes, this is a brand new battery that has been installed. You can see in the pics where the battery is mounted to its own circuit board below the keyboard assembly near the mod wheels.

This MIDI modification was installed some time before I even received the keyboard. However, all works as it should with the MIDI In, Out, and Thru.

The best part of the MIDI modification is the MIDI Thru port. Many MIDI kits that I have come across will only have MIDI In, with an occassional few that have an Out as well. This one has a Thru which allows you to daisy chain instead of having the Polysix as a final unit.

I am not entirely sure of what MIDI functions are available with this particular kit since I have not had much luck finding out enough information on MIDITEC other than that they were of the few MIDI kit producers for the Polysix in the earlier years.

I have had this Polysix hooked up via MIDI with my Akai MPC-2000 and used it primarily for note sequencing as I tweaked the controls myself for filtering and other effects.

One factor of the MIDITEC MIDI kit that is worth mentioning is that it doesn't allow the Appregiation section, Hold, or Chord Memory to function as originally designed. I never had a problem with this though since I used it mainly with my MPC2000 as stated earlier or even with my Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 that has a built in Appregiator." inside a polysix

Note the auction does not include the flyer from what I can tell. Posts on MATRIXSYNTH are rarely primarily about the auction. They are about the pics, video and/or interesting bits of info. The auction goes away but the post does not. Sometimes the fact that a rare item is up for auction is interesting of course.
