The successor to the Korg PolySix, its control panel has fewer knobs and relies on selecting a parameter by its number and then changing its value, making it less suited to real-time sound tweaking than the PolySix. The first oscillator can use a saw, pulse, or PWM waveform, while the second oscillator can generate a saw or square waveform. It uses a pair of NEC D8049C 8-bit processors to control its systems and a set of six SSM-2056 chips to controls its envelopes. The Poly 61 has a patch memory battery that will leak and cause damage to the CPU board.

This battery will need to be replaced at some point. If it's not, it will eventually destroy the circuit board. A standard 3.6v 3-cell rechargeable cordless phone battery is a suitable replacement.

The instrument’s tone parameters (control elements on panel) are not MIDI controllable. Please note that a complete beginner should not carry out the installation. At least basic manual dexterity and knowledge of soldering are required. This can be done very quickly and is very suitable for playing live. Of course you can combine this feature with the normal arpeggiator or the powerarp (see below).http://www.bosport.be/newsletter/compat-feeding-pump-manual This makes it possible to have a sequenced chord progression in the matter of seconds. You can define a sequence of up to 128 notes, which are then triggered by the arpeggiator clock. Up, down, updown and three different random modes are just a few ways to replay this sequence. You can use this with all play modes including Chord and Polychord, which means you can define complex chord progressions and replay them using the arpeggiator, an external trigger or using midi. You can also add breaks into the sequence which allows rhythmic arpeggiator sequences. No soldering is required here. To install the midi and sustain sockets you have to drill a few holes in the back of your synthesizer and if you want the optional midi to filter and pitch bend control you have to solder a cable. Only lead free components and solder are used. We ship from Germany with fixed shipping costs worldwide. If you want us to install the mod for you please contact us. Also includes a stencil for drilling the holes and a sticker for labeling. They serve as an easy lookup table for the internal config menu. The Poly-61 version is mounted on the top panel. We are based in Berlin and you can either bring or send us your Synth. As the ModyPoly mod makes use of five Polysix buttons (POLY, UNI, CHORD, HOLD, ARP), the workflow will also be dependent on the quality of these. If your buttons are sticky or very hard to push, I recommend replacing them. Multiple how-to’s are available in the net. For this reason it did not make sense for Korg to implement a unison mode into the Poly-61 and consequently it does not have a unison button. See manual here. All added features are additional to the existing ones. There are some instructions for advanced users who can’t get enough of their ModyPoly Shipping was inredibly fast. The customer advisory service was quick and very helpful and most of all particularly fair in exposing the pros and cons of the product. Modysix costs more than one competitive product and less than another, but to my opinion it is worth every cent of its price. The built in features seem to be designed with regard to the musician’s actual needs. Grandpa 61 got its rejunenation and he now plays major leaque again, along with nowadways flagships, at least in my opinion and my ears.From the manual I had already appreciated the thoughtfullness that went into this modification, and now that I can use it I can only say: what an amazing creative expansion of the great Polysix.

The Poly-61 also uses digitally controlled analog oscillators or DCO's (Roland's Juno-6 had made the same leap the previous year), in place of the Polysix' VCOs. The Poly-61 also boasted double the amount of patch memory (64 memory positions versus the Polysix's 32), but did not feature its predecessor's on board effects.The MIDI implementation was basic with only note on and note off information, partly as the synthesiser was not touch sensitive.DCO1, a more traditional design, provides sawtooth, pulse, and PWM waveforms. DCO2, based on low-resolution counter ICs, has only sawtooth and square, and is not available on its own.Some of these are rather limited by the parameter resolution. However, when manipulated by internal LFOs, the resolution is considerably better without notable stepping.All parameters can only be set to one of 16 values. This means there are only 16 possible settings for each of the ADSR parameters.It has a variable delay before it is triggered.The joystick can be used to route this to DCO pitch (vibrato) or VCF. As control of this LFO is entirely manual, it does not feature in the programmable patch structure of the synth.This chord is then replicated, its lowest note matching any note played on the keyboard. A hold function works in either Poly or Chord mode, with a dedicated input jack for a release foot pedal.CS1 maint: archived copy as title ( link ) Retrieved October 16, 2011.

I'm waiting to hear back from Korg, but this is an older synth and I doubt they can help.I wish I had more time to devote to it, I have many many other synths that need to go there, it just takes so much time to record the.mp3s, scan the manuals, design the page, write, publish it etc. etc. Corroded metal can’t conduct anymore, so part of control board fails and it is not possible to program and play sounds. It is necessary to restore all affected traces, mounting holes, vias and to find not working parts (especially ICs). It is almost an identical copy of original 509A board. The parts are located on the same place and the board uses the same types of parts. The schematic of the circuit is as original one. The cloned board can be easily repaired and calibrated in the future using original Poly-61 service manual. If your MCU is faulty or is missing, a replacement MCU is available. In this way a new 509A control board was created.But these MCUs also work fine in Poly-61 without factory MIDI. In this way a new 508 voice board was created.PLUG connectors Old voice board 476 uses plug connector, new voice board 508 uses FFC. Individual connector’s contacts are visible from the side. All of them should have nice, silver metallic colour. If they are blue-green, white or dark grey they should be cleaned or replaced. Connector housing can be reused after cleaning. In combination with replacement male connectors, almost all connector junctions can be repaired! Metal parts are covered with white oxides and blue-green salts. Corroded metal can’t conduct anymore, so part of control board fails and it is not possible to program and play sounds. These ICs are microcontrollers (or shortly MCU) that are heart of control board. One is responsible for Key Assigner (suffixes 217, 384 and 587) the other one for Programmer section (suffixes 337 and 588). Normally we response within 12 hours. The Korg Poly-61 offers a wealth of morphing, pulsing '80s sounds and textures in a diamond in the rough. A pair of digitally controlled oscillators deliver consistent performance and sound sources for fun onboard options like the built-in arpeggiator and seven-step filter.

This is good info, and I think I'll be able to resurrect my Korg. All rights reserved Back to Top. This means that each note you play is slightly out of tune with the previous note and successive chords just sound a bit ill. Each voice is clearly labelled on the synth board and there are trimmer pots for VCA, EG. FC (cutoff) and resonance for each voice, but no kind of trimmers for tuning. I can't believe Korg would have made no provision for retuning the 6 polyphony voices to each other, unless of course the tuning was set dead on at the factory and its just components failing at different rates that has caused the detune problems. Has anyone had any experience of working with one of these things. I've done a fair bit of searching on the net but haven't found any clues of how to sort this out. I've found a service manual for the poly61 (exactly the same machine without midi) HERE but it doesn't include details of retuning and the schematics aren't very good copies. Theres three trimmers labelled high, mid and low but they just tune every voice at the same time, which isn't much good if the voices are out of tune with each other in the first place. If you've got one voice that's particularly bad but the rest are okayish then chances are you'll see one output not behave the same as the rest. Replace the bloody awful 4051. Because DCO1 is a digitally controlled VCO theres no way to individually tune the voices but his idea was that i was just getting the raw VCO and it had lost its digital control. I was getting nothing on the scope where i was meant to be seeing the TTL signals that controlled the pitch for the VCO. I'm using the past tense here as i was just tracking down the source of the clock signals when i went to make a cup of tea, and when i came back and turned the Poly back on it was dead. Now when i turn it on all the button LED's come on at once, the numerical LED displays stay dark and it won't respond to any button or key presses. I'm guessing this is going to be down to some crappy logic IC dying for no apparent reason but its a pain in the arse trying to track it down. I think i'll start with the 4051's though. Check that the nicad hasn't leaked goo all over the board - that's a nightmare to sort out, but possible with extreme patience and a speedwire pen. Not only does the corrosive electrolyte dissolve the copper under the lacquer, but it wicks up inside wires and attacks those too. Since Poly-61s are often cannibalised for their (really expensive) filter ICs, you can often pick up cheap non-runners for parts. There was a small amount of leakage but that was all cleaned up and fixed at the time and its been working ever since, so unless i've disturbed something i don't think its going to be down to that. I have noticed on my scope that the signals coming from the clock board are no longer even remotely squarewaves and are a little unstable. They are more like sawtooth waves with a bent upwards slope. Could that be why the system just doesn't seem to be starting up properly? It's a bit late for me to try to puzzle out the circuit diagram of the clock, but start looking for dry joints, resistors going high in value and possibly dribbly electrolytics. Also, don't forget that ceramic disc caps can go leaky (electrically, not physically) and cause all sorts of weirdness. The clocks for the MCU's come from what look like a pair of ceramic resonators which both seem to be putting out identical sine waves so i guess thats not the problem. The signals from the clock board seem to be just for digitally tuning the oscillators and have nothing to do with the system otherwise. They still don't look right on the scope but i'm thinking thats something to sort out when i've actually got the thing to start up again. Both the MCU's and the four 8253 timers that supply the clocks for the oscillator tuning seem to be getting rather hot, although everything else on the board is fine. That's not particularly good. Check the 5V rail is actually 5V. If the clock is seriously mis-shapen then it could cause weirdness that might include overheating. The clock signal coming from the clock board looks like the picture below althougth mysteriously it did look a bit more like a sawtooth earlier today. What should i be seeing on the reset pins of the MCU's if anything?

If you've got one voice that's particularly bad but the rest are okayish then chances are you'll see one output not behave the same as the rest. Replace the bloody awful 4051.Finding a replacement in a DIL package was a little tricky but i finally tracked one down from www.dalbani.co.uk.Well, in fact they initially sent me a surface mount one but made a special order from their supplier for me when i complained. That sorted the main board issues but it appears that the tuning issues were on the synth board. Luckily i got hold of another 61M with a completely destroyed main board but a mint condition synth board, and managed to bodge together a fully working machine out of the two. It was somewhat of a step up from the Polysix, as it has 2 DCOs for better reliability. It also retained the arpeggiator of the Polysix. The Poly-61 can provide cool gritty basses or trippy analog sounds and fx. Also added is the familiar Korg joystick, which can be used to modulate the VCO or the VCF. However, its filter only has 7 steps of resonance and is not as fat as the Polysix’s filter. It also uses the same method of programming the Poly-800 and Yamaha DX-7 use, so it’s not a very useful synth for real-time-tweaking junkies. The first Poly-61s didn’t have MIDI, but the Poly-61M released in 1984 corrects this. Overall, the Poly-61 is still a decent synth, and it can be acquired for practically nothing.
