Korg Polysix with KiwiSix Mod Project Machine

“Korg Polysix – Spares or repairs. Unfinished restoration.

Cosmetics:
Brand new walnut case
Kiwi Technics vinyl overlay
Two buttons missing
Scratches and dents to rear.

Functionality:
Powers on and makes noise.
Basic analogue functions work, but needs a service.
KiwiSix Mod recently installed, however untested. I’m fairly confident that the mod is installed correctly, however I think there is an underlying issue. The mod was installed due to the usual “Polysix battery leak”.

I did want to finish the project, however the boiler has packed up and I don’t have time to finish it.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Polysix

“Beautiful vintage Korg PolySix pulled from my pro recording studio. I’ve owned this a long time. Never gigged, only non-smoking studio use. Had the battery done and gone through by a tech a couple years ago and works great. In very good to excellent condition, veneer not perfect as pictured but looks great for an old synth. Nothing else sounds like it.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Polysix Project Machine

“Korg Polysix from the 80ties!

Sold as-is for parts only with no warranties, guarantees, refunds or returns. It has quite a few bugs and needs a major restoration. That said, it makes sound and is installed with factory preset sounds.

Here are the defects I know from:
The programming seems to work, but some of the buttons for “PROGRAMMER” has a bad connection. The middle c does not work. Four of the colored buttons are missing. There is some background noise on the output. One of the keys appears to have been broken and has been glued. The cable holders have been removed. One of them is broken in the plastic, and the screws for mounting them are missing. When using a tuner, I have noticed that it is slightly out of tune. If the middle C is in tune, the deep c is too low, and the bright c is too high. The pitch bender has no spring. Furthermore, as seen from the pictures, it has quite a lot of wear on the wood, especially in the corners.

Here are the repairs I know has been made:
About 20 years ago, a new battery was installed.
Lately, a new jack plug was installed, and some loose connections in the keys have been fixed, but the middle C does not work.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Would rather not post but I may. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Polysix

“e.This was my Dad’s Korg Polysix Analog synthesizer. This came out in 1981. Even when everyone was moving towards digital equipment in the late 80s, these keyboards still held their own and were highly desirable! Judging by the sale price of other Polysixes here on Marketplace and Ebay, they still are! My dad loved it and took great care of it. I learned that one issue with these keyboards is that eventually the battery expires and they tend to leak acid if not replaced, and that can lead to serious damage to the circuit board where the battery is mounted. I opened it up to have a look and as you can see by the pictures, the battery has not leaked at all. It is possible that my dad was aware of this issue and either replaced it or this battery didn’t burst or leak. My dad is not here to ask so I leave that up to you. New lithium batteries for this unit cost around $30. This keyboard is in great condition for its age – inside and out. In one of the pictures you’ll notice that 1 of the knobs is not original. That was just the picture, I have ordered the original knob and that will be included in the sale.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Polysix with KiwiSix Upgrade

” Up for sale, a 1980s Korg PolySix programmable polyphonic vintage synthesizer in perfect working order, augmented with a full KiwiTechnics KiwiSix upgrade kit including upgraded circuit board and power supply.

The KiwiSix upgrade significantly expands overall functionality and mitigates several issues common to the PolySix, including replacing the original KLM-367 circuit board; which are frequently corroded due to the frequent failure of the original nickel-cadmium batteries. The KiwiSix upgrade also provides 512 tone slots, all able to be stored/edited, with 64 preloaded tones. Sequencing capability is increased; 8 separate 124-max step sequences can be edited and stored. Additionally, the KiwiSix enables MIDI functionality, with the ability to independently set the MIDI In & Out channels. The Arpeggiator and Sequencer can both output MIDI, and the Sequencer can be entirely dictated by MIDI input. The internal clock hardware has been overridden and expounded upon; now able to clock the Arpeggiator and/or Sequencer and can optionally generate a MIDI clock. Key Transposition augmentation allows transposition from 1 octave down to 2 octaves up.

Finally, the power supply has been replaced with a proprietary KiwiTechnics design which utilizes modern voltage regulators. Many PolySix units often have extensive damage as a result of years of overvoltage; the KiwiSix Power Supply is KiwiTechnics’ much-needed answer to that issue. Beyond hardware, all future software updates to the system can be downloaded free of charge from KiwiTechnics’ website.

Cosmetically, this unit is extremely unique. It has been painted purple with yellow trim, with a large vintage Batman sticker placed central to the back of the enclosure on top of additional purple-painted tape. The knobs have also been painted purple. There is a fair bit of honest wear across the enclosure, but nothing extending beyond minor nicks and dings. Additionally, some of the yellow spray paint extends to the upper two octaves of keys and cheek.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

There are two small cracks in the wood on the left hand side. (See photos). The one on top left is barely noticeable. And the one on back bottom left you can’t see when you are using the poly6 because it’s on the bottom part of the unit. Neither effects the sound or the way the unit sits in any way. ”

Korg Polysix with Kiwisix Upgrade

“Korg Polysix with Kiwitechnics Kiwisix Upgrade.
Here for sale is a Korg Polysix WITH a Kiwisix upgrade. Why so cheap? First, because I want to actually meet the buyer. I’m not going to ship it. We could arrange something where I drive and meet you somewhere. Second, because the Kiwisix upgrade isn’t finished. The Kiwisix board has been installed but the tuning procedure has not been done. Because of this each octave of the keyboard is slightly out of tune. A few keys are not responsive and will need conductive paint applied to them or new rubber key contacts. All of the controls work, but to access some of the additional Kiwisix functions further modifications must be done. All of this is explained in the Kiwisix manual. The keyboard does make audio come out of its outputs as it should. The original KLM-387A board is included, complete with fried traces from where the battery leaked out. The original NEC 8049 chip is also included.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This is the last of two Korg Polysixes which we have meticulously refurbished over many days. This unit has a new CPU board installed.

The synthesizer has had the following work undertaken:

Keys removed from keyed and individually cleaned, together with the keybed PCB contacts and rubber actuator.
A full PSU recap
New KLM-367A replacement board installed from Synthtronics
All 19 tact switches have been replaced with quality Omron switches.
LED on Manual button has been modded with an amber light together with an amendment to the resistor.
Each knob and switch cap has been through a Retrobrite process (to de-yellow) – it looks stunning.
All potentiometers and switches have been cleaned, lubricated and deoxidised.
Each screw has been removed and deoxidised to give a classy “gun metal” appearance.
Finally, it has fully calibrated and the factory patches re-loaded.”

“I found out the sub-oscillator stops working from time to time and it seems to be a loose connector on the replaced board inside the synth. I first discovered this when I took the synth off its stand and placed it on a table. Before that the synth was working completely fine. So i figured out that when the sub oscillator stops, I need to open up the panel and gently touch the appropriate connector on the board, to move it just a little bit and then it all gets back to normal, so I assume it should be rather an easy fix. Nonetheless, I have updated the asking price to reflect that, so now it seems like a great deal for someone, who knows a thing or two about electronics ;)” Click here to visit listing on eBay

It does have a 1/4″ headphone jack. I have not used this in many, many years. It does turn on. It does play thru my headphones There is static when you turn volume control (typical for potentiometers this age but can be serviced). Turning the various knobs does change the sound output but I do not remember what each should do so I cannot tell you if they are all doing what they were designed to do.
