Korg Poly-800 II 80s Vintage Digital Analogue Polyphonic Synthesiser & Sequencer

Korg Poly-800 80s Vintage Digital Analogue Polyphonic Synthesiser & Sequencer

The Poly-800 is an eight-voice instrument (two more than the Juno series) with 64 memory patches (half of what the Juno-106 offered) and up to 50 editable parameters! Like the Juno, the Poly-800 had one DCO per voice, although it did feature a Double mode in which the oscillators could be stacked up for a fuller sound and only four voices of polyphony. The analog filter is a 24dB/oct low-pass which is shared by all voices (the Juno has separate filter chips for each voice). There's also a stereo chorus effect, chord memory, a simple built-in sequencer, three digital envelope generators (for the oscillators, the noise generator and the filter), and a funky joystick used to adjust the pitch, modulation and the filter.

The Poly-800 model was succeeded by the the Poly-800 mkII in 1985. The mkII added digital delay effects, MIDI SysEx functionality and a darker paint job.

This one is in great condition and has just received a full service with all key contacts, switches and buttons being deep cleaned. The synth has no issues whatsoever and is fully loaded with factory presets that sound fantastic!
