Repairing & Restoring a Korg Polysix to Better Than New! Episode 6: Demonstrating the (Kiwi)Polysix!
Scott's Synth Stuff
This is episode six in the Polysix restoration series. In this episode, I go over the synth, demonstrate the new features it has thanks to the Kiwisix upgrade, and make a small demo track using the Polysix.
The very first synthesizer I ever bought, back in 1987, was a Korg Polysix. These venerable synths have a monster sound, but time is not kind to their inner electronics. In this video series, I will take a nonfunctional Polysix with severe internal damage and make it better than new, bringing modern capabilities, MIDI, and better quality sound while retaining what makes the PolySix so special! Join me on this restoration journey.
