It also suffers from low resolution in the parameter settings, with audible steps between filter and resonance stages and other limited programming options. It was Korg’s first to go knobless and after the one-two punch of the Mono/Poly and Polysix, well, I can see why people might turn their heads away in shame. It’s no MS-20 but your Juno-106 would certainly tut tut its impertinence. And lastly the filter resonance can get downright, well, impolite. It has a grittiness that is unexpected considering it employs DCOs and not VCOs. It also does great drones thanks to the hold button. Underestimate its potential for bass at your peril. I was expecting something similar to the Poly-800 but the 61 has a lot more low end, for one. It’s a 6-voice dual DCO analog synth with a whole lot of character. I must not be the only person with a blind spot for the 61 because I managed to get one recently in decent shape for $150. I’ve been through more Poly-800s than I care to count, I have the Polysix iPad app, and I certainly wouldn’t mind a Mono/Poly, but a Poly-61? It also looks incredibly synthwave with its gray color scheme and grid-patterned front panel. Nobody really talks about it, despite it having been used by big names of electronic music like Boards Of Canada and Com Truise.

Sandwiched between the famous and desirable Polysix, and the Poly-800, the synth that everyone loves to hate, the Poly-61 is easily forgotten. This was my history with the Poly-61, Korg’s 1982 polysynth. But for whatever reason you haven’t given it the time of day. Maybe it’s even (in the parlance of our times) a beast. It could have nothing to do with the sound of the synth itself. make sure you dont send the wavefile in to loud.Sometimes, for whatever reason, a synth will stay off your radar. i used an old mp3player to load the sounds. You might try an other playable device that supports wavefiles to play instead of you computer. Yes, I can, so I know the problem isn't the internal battery.
#KORG POLY 800 TAPE PATCH#
This result happens consistently despite loading the same one several times, or loading different ones.Ĭan you edit and save a patch so that it remains the same upon power cycling? So I hit the switch to disable writing patches and.nothing, my patches are the same as they were before. Now, I set everything up and went to load them, and got the "Good" message. I eventually found the patches in WAV here: (I can't load sysex patches because I don't have the necessary USB/MIDI cable at this time.)
#KORG POLY 800 TAPE MANUAL#
I have the manual and backed up the patches already on the keyboard (and verified it), and then I went looking for the factory presets in WAV. The previous owner did a lot of editing to the patches (some good, some bad) but after a year or so I'm just sick of what's on it and would like to start fresh. I've got a Poly 800 II that I was bequeathed about a year and change ago. Hi guys, first post so excuse my etiquette.
