Has midi retrofitted also by a previous owner, however they are mislabelled, I don’t know which way round they go as I don’t use midi. The photo of the wiring inside should answer it.”

“The Korg PolySix is an amazing early synth dating to 1981. I obtained this model in the 90s from its original owner. It’s a six-note polyphonic analog beast with built-in chorus, phaser and “ensemble” effects. It’s got 32 memory slots for voices, which can be backed up to old-fashioned cassette tape. I believe this is the model they used for “The Final Countdown,” so you KNOW it’s awesome. Tears for Fears also used a PolySix, and so did Keith Emerson (who I’m pretty sure used every synth). This machine has never been on the road, it’s original owner used it for home recording and I used it for taking up space in my basement. Somewhere along the line, it simply stopped working.

This keyboard has some chipping to the woodgrain finish on the edges and corners, and is missing a few of the little buttons on the top. The buttons themselves appear to work, but they’re all sticky.

PolySix keyboards have had some reliability issues in the past, and this one needs to be serviced. It currently does not play. The PolySix has a NiCd batter that needed replacement, and it is unlikely that the one inside this model has ever been replaced, so that might be the issue – it powers up just fine, but no sound comes out. This is being sold “as is” with no returns.

Reverb dot com shows past sales of these ranging between $800 and $2000, with POOR condition examples selling in the $800 range. This one definitely qualifies as POOR; it’s yours for $700 plus shipping, which is a great price if you know how to service these (or know someone who does). This is a truly monster synth, one of the earliest affordable synthesizers.”
