I have a really nice Korg Polysix with the essential Kiwitech Kiwisix Upgrade and power supply upgrade. The Kiwisix mod gives this classic vintage analog synth all of the modern features you could want. Here is a breakdown of all the added features:The KiwiSix Upgrade features: A complete replacement board for the troubled Korg Polysix KLM-367 circuit board. These are usually battery damaged which can be difficult and expensive to repair and render the synth unusable.•1024 Tones can be stored and edited. It is also possible to temporarily edit any Tone. Tones are selected using a two button system. The first button selects the high digit (bank 1-8) and the second button the low digit (Tone 1-8). This allows 64 tones (1-1 to 8-8) on any bank group. There are 16 bank groups that are selected using the A-D bank buttons.•MidiCC and Sysex support all parameters. Sysex support for Tone Dump & Load and 4096 step parameter control.•NRPN support on all variable controls giving 4096 step control. Release 1.20+•4096 step scanning on all front panel controls. Optional Fine midi control using sysex or NRPN (v1.20+) on all variable controls.•Midi In & Out Channels can be separately set.•Patch Editor Control of Parameters (requires PE v 5.0 or later)•Two styles of Polyphonic (7th note override or 7th note ignored) and Last note priority Unison Key Assign Modes•Chord Mode. Any chord with up to 6 notes can be set and played from any key•The Arpeggiator can be clocked from the internal/external clock or midi clock divided by 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 128, 144, 168 or 192.•Arp modes are Up, Down, Up and Down, Random (midi only), 0, 1 or 2 octaves and can be controlled via midi.•Key transpose allows transposition to any key in a range of 2 Octaves up to 1 Octave down•Arpeggiator can be Started, Stopped & Continued using Midi Commands•Appeggiator will Output Midi Data•Internet update system. All future updates will be at no charge.•The Upgrade comes with a replacement metal plate for the power cord. This plate has an IEC socket for a standard power cord (note - Power cord is not supplied), screws and space to mount the Korg Serial Number plate and midi in and out sockets are mounted. An internal cable is supplied to plug into the KiwiSix Upgrade board for Midi I/O.•Optional more reliable power supply using modern components.•Installation instructions are supplied and some soldering is required for the Power wires to the replacement plate and two front panel modifications. The power supply upgrade will also need some soldering. Full installation instructions are in the User Manual and any parts required will be supplied in the upgrade.•Metal KiwiSix Label•Compatible midiCC control set for all Kiwitechnics productsThe custom cabinet housing the synth was rebuilt using beautiful hardwood making it a one of a kind instrument as well as giving it a longer lasting, more robust finish. It is in excellent condition cosmetically (most noticeable flaw is some etching on the back from a prior owner, but otherwise almost perfect). It functions like brand new, with all knobs and switches operating as expected, no noise in the pots, and a real nice responsiveness when parameters are edited. There are so many synths that have a certain amount of play in the knobs and sliders, but this Polysix is very snappy and smooth. There are a lot of modern polysynths to choose from these days, but this one really has the vintage tone and mojo you want.It will be shipped in a nearly new, never gigged flight case to ensure a safe journey. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks!
