- The KORG Polysix from 1981 is a fat and warm Analogsynthesizer.
You can listen to some patches in this short Video.
Have fun with keyboards.

It always makes me happy to hear good vintage Synthizer’s, that I also own.😊❤
😎
Great to hear a Polysix in such a good shape!
Klasse, schöne alte Sounds. Danke dürs Video 👍
Starke Sounds, super Demo.
Danke Franz!
Track suit's going on. Saw it in one of the recent Guy Ritchie movies so bravo lol. You are coaxing some amazing sounds in this demonstration. Thank you for sharing
Great playing - showing off a great instrument! It so hard to find good demos like these. Thank you!
Thank you kindly!
I had one back in 82 and the addition of all of the extrnal effects you are using helps it sound much better today. Might be worth showing what is sounds like native just in case anyone might fancy one based on these demos?
Since the Roland D50 there are all synths full with efx. This is my second video about the Polysix. The first one my channel is a demonstration of functions and also of the VCO. I’m also playing sounds without using effects in this video.
Korg produces good stuff at reasonable prices, the polysix still sounds good after all these years(yeah ok pedals but still).
Sehr schön. Der Polysix war mein erster Polysynth, und obwohl mittlerweile im Besitz zahlreicher Hi-End-Synths, vermisse ich ihn immer noch.
Ich habe noch ein zweites Video über den Polysix gemacht. 🤘
Geht mit ganz genauso 😢
Fantastische Vorführung, Franz! Ziemlich flexibel, der Polysix und er klingt einfach super. Haben will !
Nach dem Video bin ich selbst noch viel mehr verliebt in meinen Polysix! 🙂
He's good!
Sehr schöne Präsentationen! Was gibt die LED links über den Modwheels an? Die ist standardmäßig nicht vorhanden oder
Du meinst den kleinen roten Taster oder? Mit dem kann man den Midikanal wechseln. Der ist original nicht verbaut.
Ah ok das ist praktisch, hab auch mal einen gesehen der einen Noise Generator an der Stelle verbaut hatte. Danke für die Info ;)
@@WarmRainInJune Noise Generator ist super. Es gibt viele Umbaumöglichkeiten für den Polysix - und es zahlt sich auf jeden Fall aus, weil er einen sehr besonderen Sound hat (und leider etwas wenig Möglichkeiten). Ich werde aber meinen nicht mehr erweitern lassen. Ich habe eh genug andere Kasteln, die dann wieder was anderes können.
Great playing and demo. Never sold mine which I bought new in ‘83. Are theese factory preset patches or your’s? Sounds wonderful. The effects are good neccecities ;)
This is my best of factory a and b. And sometimes a little editing. It’s a wonderful synth!!!
@@Franz_Kreimer_Keys wow. Aha! Never remembered the factory presets. Still have the p6-cassette. The fun with this maschine is it’a so easy to Edit and find personal patches.
+1 funk @8:30
welcher Patch ist das? Es handelt sich um Werksvoreinstellungen
Hallo. Ist der zweite Satz eine Frage?
I'm sorry, I wanted to ask you which patches you are using, factory bank A or B? thank you 🙂
Thanks to Franz for your amazing presentation. These are amazing Patches for this old Puppy. Is there any chance that you like to share/upload these Banks/Patches ?
This is a mix of Bank A and B. And some small edits. @@paypower66
Why not? But i do not have a Homepage to share it. You can follow my FB channel. @@thepanicroommastering2062
Polysix>Juno
I’ve both. Very individual sound
Juno has DCOs, while Polysix uses VCOs: with Juno, all DCOs are forced (reset) to be in phase each other; the VCOs are out of phase all the time instead, therefore the chords presents much more rich and warm sound, due to the single differences between notes. Moreover, Juno has OTA VCFs, while Polysix has SSM ICs, as per Dave Rossum (when in E-mu systems) design, that are judged by several musicians as the best sounding filters ever designed. The same filtering technology is used by Sequential (Take 5, Prophet 5/10 v4, Prophet X), UDO Super 6 and others.
A very unique concept in the Polysix is that it's a full-analog without any TUNE routine; indeed it doesn't need it. All other VCO-synths use an hex converter per each VCO, and the converters are the sensitive circuits to be tuned each some time. The Polysix has only one high-precision hex converter, that drives all 6 VCOs sequentially: in this way, all VCOs, once adjusted, does track exactly identical, and the relation between them is constantly maintained without any deviation in tuning.
More peculiarities: Polysix has 4 LFOs (VCO/VCF/VCA mod, PWM speed, arpeggio, effect) and the Ensemble effect is achieved via a similar circuit as the Solina and ARP Omni, with three BBD delay lines modulated with independent LFOs with different speeds, so that it can emulate some of the famous string synthesizers in a very faithful way.
@@lucasasdelliyou’re right on all counts, but I still think there’s a round, present, and powerful aspect to the Juno 6/60 sound that the Polysix can’t touch. What’s more: the effects in the Polysix all have a very narrow frequency response bandwidth, resulting in a murky, muddy sound when the effects are in use. The chorus circuit in the Juno series is pretty high-fi by contrast. The envelope generators are also worth mentioning: in the Juno 6/60, the envelope generators are capable of producing some of the snappiest, most percussive sounds I’ve heard in a synth. This pairs nicely with the arpeggiator. The envelopes in the Polysix are, while very useable, just can’t deliver the same liquidy click that the Juno can. I have a Juno 60 and I used to have a Polysix and while everything you say about the VCOs providing a warmer, more natural sound, I would never trade my Juno for another Polysix. An example of a thing being greater than the sum of its parts, I suppose.
@@lucasasdelli i just finished tuning process of polysix and it is a nightmare actually, each voice also has it's own low and high tune VRs, it is impossible to tune all voices without any deviation, but it sounds so good.
