- A Korg Poly-61 modded with the stereo spread card from www.musikding.de I also added an all-pass filter to be able to mix in the mono signal in to the stereo image for a slightly fuller sound. The Poly-61 turns in to a new synth with this easy mod.
Nice - one of the first polysynths I got my hands on back in 1984 borrowed from a school friend. Sounds even better with the stereo mod, and fab big clean sounds too.
Cool! Nice space too 🎹
Interesting update on an often underrated synth. Thanks for sharing. Thumb goes up. 🙂
Awesome- might do this mod, too.
On another note: You seem to be a synth enthusiast, how would you describe the Poly61 sound wise and how it holds up against other synths?
I have always heard that the P61 is somewhat of a Lemon, but nothing can be more wrong. Yes, DCO, but the filter is fantastic (same OTA as in later MS20, so IMO better than in a Polysix). I think it gained its bad reputation because some functions has very few steps due to low CPU-power, like Resonance just being 0-7, and ENV->VCF also being 0-7. That makes it a bit crude, but tbh once you start tweaking you don't notice. So a very VERY cheap way to get great GREAT analog sounds. I paid 250 USD for this in a somewhat beaten up condition...
I'd like to find more info on this mod
Just go to musikding.de and search for "polysix" - the mod is originally for the Polysix but works perfect for the P61 too.
