KORG POLYSIX Analog Synth 1981 | DEMO

This movie shows the Korg Polysix in action, with high quality sound. Pure sound without any eq and external effects. I made a new Polysix demo (see the link below) with better sound and resolution. This here is the first demo from 2008. The Korg Polysix was the most successful analog synthesizer - like it was the Yamaha DX7 in the world of digital synthesizers. Korg was inspired by the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 - in fact, the Polysix has similar SSM chips like the early Prophets. For this reason, it has a warm, "american" analog sound... The Polysix can produce fat pads with the "ensemble" effect, which reminds me on old string machines. It also can produce great bass sounds in unisono mode. Weird sounds are possible with the filter resonance. The hardware is solid, well made - except the original internal battery, which tends to leak. Especially when the Polysix is not turned on for a long time. So, please play yours, if you have one - or better, replace the original battery as soon you can.
