The Korg Poly-61 is a 6-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer. It was the successor of the classic Korg Polysix. It has 2 oscillators per voice and digital parameter access - like the Poly-800, which came later. The Poly-61 has DCO's and analog 12 dB/okt. filters for every voice (unlike the Poly-800, which has a single 24 dB filter for all voices). DCO 1 has PWM. There is only one ADSR envelope for VCF and VCA. It also has CHORD MEMORY and an ARPGEGGIATOR - the same as featured on the Polysix. Poly-61 has snappier / faster envelopes than the Poly-800. The Poly-61 can produce some great and usable sounds, it has a typical sound character. It has something like an "eighties lofi" aura, that is charming. I simply like this synth... You can make good music with it, if you know how to program and use it. The battery inside is the same type as in Korg Polysix and tends to leak - replace it as soon as you can. The original Poly-61 came without MIDI. Later models had MIDI built in. Finally, the rare Poly-61M was released, which had MIDI as standard. This video shows what a Poly-61 is capable of. I recorded the sounds without any additional effects or eq. _______________________________________________________________ THE SOUND PROGRAMS IN THIS MOVIE: Do you have a Poly-61 and want to play with the powerful sounds you are hearing here?
