” I am rather sadly selling my beloved Korg Polysix. This is a genuine analogue synth, first manufactured in the early 80s. I bought this particular Polysix from a friend back in the early 90s, and I believe this friend purchased it new. Over the last 25 years I have enjoyed playing this synth in a number of different musical ventures and styles, but now demands of space and cash mean I need to put it up for sale.
Everything is working on this Polysix – all keys, knobs, buttons etc. A few years ago I repaired all the key contacts. I have also changed the battery from the original (the original batteries were well known to leak inside the synth).
The sound of the Polysix is quite unique – very characterful, very organic. I love playing pads and chords on it, but it also handles lead lines and bass lines very nicely. You can stack all 6 oscillators to make fat solo lines. The filter can be pretty extreme. There’s also a great arpeggiator which is fun to play around with. It’s just a great synth for messing about and improvising on, so easy to twiddle a knob to shape the sounds.
Included is the original wooden case (I believe it is the original case anyway). This has a lovely purple fur interior for the Polysix to sit in. I have recently replaced the handle on the case.”
