The Korg PolySix is a classic 6-voice analog polysynth, renowned for its lush, creamy sound defined by its coveted SSM 2044 filter chips—the same chips found in premium instruments like the Sequential Prophet-5 Rev 1 & 2 and Oberheim OB-X. This gives it a rich, vocal quality that lesser VCF-equipped synths cannot match. Its single VCO per voice delivers powerful sawtooth, pulse-width, and sub-oscillator waves, shaped by an onboard analog phaser, chorus, and ensemble effects for instant depth and movement.
This instrument is transformed by the official KiwiSix modification, a comprehensive hardware/software upgrade that modernizes the architecture while preserving its vintage soul. The KiwiSix unlocks professional features including full MIDI In/Out/Thru, 128-user patch memory, an expanded modulation matrix with additional LFOs and envelopes, a 24dB/octave filter mode, a duophonic mode, and a sophisticated arpeggiator. It effectively creates a new, deeply capable instrument built upon a classic analog foundation.
This KiwiSix-upgraded PolySix is in excellent, fully functional condition. All keys, buttons, and knobs work perfectly. It is stable, reliable, and requires only a standard cleaning.
