      PAUL MARTIN: Actually...Korg's PolySix V2 softsynth, beats it's own original hardware version of the PolySix keyboard.
      The software enables versatile sound creation with enhancements such as 32-voice polyphony (max), up to 16-voice unison (with detune/ spread function), flexible external modulation settings, MIDI clock synchronization for the modulation generator and arpeggiator, and a spread function that adjusts the spaciousness of the effects. The multi-effects that have been added to this softsynth, are among the very best I've ever heard.
      I've been a keyboardist for 43 years & a life-ling Korg fan and I can vouch for Korg's accuracy & attention to every conceivable detail, in their recreation of the original PolySix keyboard(as it has all of the analog warmth & sonic characteristics.)

From the workers the capital pays to make the exploitation of labor a little less inhumane to the capital exchangers/"owners" whose whole life revolves making the decision that's likely to make them the most profit: so anything from high turnover rates to keep labor expenditures low to changing focus within or outside of the company's main industry because researching medicine isn't as profitable as developing the auto-injector it comes in.
      Why we've decided to shackle ourselves with an economic system that ends up pitting each other against one another during the best of practice when we could use better, more fair, more popular methods of producing stuff for one another where the only person exploiting labor is the one performing their own labor to better humanity I'll never understand.
