Korg Poly 61M 80's Analog Bliss!!!

[@r27501]

If you had a bad day and want that 80s feeling, go and play the 61. It is pure Italo Disco sound and make you smile again🕺

[@wendigo1011]

Absolute BEST best best poly-61 demo to this day. 8m50 !!!!!

[@SynthOSphere]

A very accurate demo! Might not be the most lush analog, but this synth sounds like NOTHING else out there. Awesome!

[@machiwoomiapoo]

I just won an auction for a Poly 61 M. I'm feeling the 80's in this one. :) I cannot wait to play it. :) Take care, Sam.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Film a demo!

[@machiwoomiapoo]

@@monsterjazzlicks The seller never sent the item. :( What a waste. I ended up buying the regular Poly 61, but it has some issues I need to address first. Take care, Sam.

[@r27501]

@@machiwoomiapoo Good luck! This synth will beam you right back in the early 80s from the first note one and make you dance like never before.

[@machiwoomiapoo]

@@r27501 I bought the Poly 61 (no M) from a dude in Canada just before they shut the border because of Covid-19. It sounds wonderful. The stick is damaged, but I think I can get in there and fix it. Yes, I love the 80's sound. Take care, Sam.

[@Todd63790]

Mate these sounds that you have created are awesome 😎

[@synthartist69]

Thank you my friend!

[@brightbite]

Mama mia, I missed you and your effing awesome 80s synth stunts! :D

[@nigelrogers8690]

Love these sounds 👏🏾

[@drew3906]

This synth has beautiful sounding filters. Having the filter going to the lfo with chord memory is ecstasy.

[@fredturd]

Nice video, and nice quality! Glad to see you doing more demos.

[@synthartist69]

Thanks Dave... hopefully I can get one up of the Polysix soon :)

[@fredconte]

great video!

[@ironinquisitor3656]

You're back!

[@jupitermarx]

And it’s all mine!;). Can’t wait for Monday! Thanks Man your awesome;)!

[@synthartist69]

Just dropped off at Fedex today! The patches are my creations.. much better than factory...hang on to those :) Hope u enjoy my friend!

[@jupitermarx]

Looks like it changed to Wednesday:(

[@synthartist69]

@@jupitermarx Well, not sure why it ever said Monday, I didn't even ship it until today but filed the invoice on Friday. But Wednesday is pretty quick.

Could you possibly give me the settings for the 1st patch?

[@ciatangallaghe2485]

God that's good

[@ebutuoytm7560]

Long time viewer and love your channel, hope all's good man. That first patch rips, would love to know the settings :) I know you've probably sold the 61 by now but quick question. What has been the most favorite synth you've ever owned and why?

[@synthartist69]

Hi..thank you for being a long time viewer! Sorry..I no longer have the p61. Fav synth..Jupiter 8..next would be the Juno 60...then minimoog model d reissue!!

[@ebutuoytm7560]

@@synthartist69 Great choice! Would love a Jupiter 8 but alas...haha. Totally agree on the 60 though. The reissue sounds amazing from what I've heard.

[@NeuronalAxon]

Nice.

[@jaggass]

You're lucky to find a Poly 61M that hasn't had a battery leak.

[@donaldjones6454]

Michael David I have the Poly-61, pre MIDI, that has a battery leak. Do you know if it can be fixed?

[@jaggass]

@@donaldjones6454 Usually it's game over when that happens.

[@donaldjones6454]

Michael David Not the news I wanted, but thanks for letting me know.

[@hutti]

I found one in mint condition without a battery leak for only €50. I am lucky ;)

[@SynthOSphere]

@@donaldjones6454 YES! It can be fixed! But it's somewhat expensive (as you need to change the CPU PCB) or VERY time consuming if you can (and want to) fix the traces and the few components affected (an no warranty it will work, while CPU board change is kinda garanteed to work, unless there's other issues with it elsewhere).

[@malcolm77]

Could you please tell me the settings to get the first patch?

[@jacoposcaccinipianist]

Song between 15 and 16 min?

[@bighispanic92]

Where can I buy this? I’ll spend top dollar.

[@gilwe]

DCO, but sounds amazing!

[@crolodon8024]

Korg DCO is just as analog as VCO, just kept in better tune. Tone generation is still analog.

[@cs20m]

@@crolodon8024 can't be the same. but yeah, it still sounds awesome, especially the filter!

[@crolodon8024]

@@cs20m What do you mean can't be the same? I didn't say that they're the same, I said that a DCO is still a fully analog tone generator. People think DCO means a digital oscillator, which is completely incorrect. A DCO is a TRUE analog oscillator.

[@mikeexits]

@@crolodon8024 Hm, then why does the "D" stand for digital? That seems counter-intuitive. I'd appreciate it if you could explain it to me.

[@crolodon8024]

@@mikeexits There is a huge amount of technical information out there for you to read, no need for me to explain. A DCO still has fully analog tone generation. Go read about it, very informative stuff out there.

[@Digiphex]

The MIDI is just limited to note on off?

[@synthartist69]

Correct, back in the beginning of midi :)

[@Bigsbeee]

Why on earth did you sell it ? You got to miss it.

[@synthartist69]

Oh you know, sell a synth to buy other gear, never ending cycle. lol Plan to buy the new Behringer Vintage Synth copies that will be coming out and give those a try. :)

[@crolodon8024]

@@synthartist69 Dude, you screwed up by selling this synth!

[@synthartist69]

@@bradejensen A think for your situation that the deepmind 12 would be the way to go!

[@mikeexits]

@@bradejensen Still got your Sirin? I'm not opposed to buying it if you still aren't a fan ;) I've always wanted a Moog, and that one was on top of my list until I bought my Behringer Neutron.

[@malcolm77]

Are these factory presets?

[@synthartist69]

No, but I created the sounds from the factory presets by editing...

[@mfbeatz]

Help!! I really cant decide between the 61 or the 800..!

[@UMAMIMAMU]

Personally I'd recommend the Korg DW-8000. You really can't beat 'em for the price.

[@mfbeatz]

@@UMAMIMAMU one day maybe..! I finally bought a dx7, a mks50, moog mother 32!!

[@UMAMIMAMU]

@@mfbeatz Nice! The Mother 32 is a beast. I'd like to get a Matriarch one day myself. Keep an eye out on your local ads for the DW-8000. They're quite plentiful and I seem them on my local Craigslist for very reasonable prices at least a few times a year. I got mine on LetGo for $100 in mint condition with a gigbag.

[@janhelmle8173]

That's easy : take the 61

[@alleykat6273]

The 800 is paraphonic and has worse build quality, get the 61

[@Less_Average]

Is their a way to get these patches from you or did they go with the synth when you sold it?

[@synthartist69]

Sorry..I didn't save them. Should have!

[@ingoodmusic]

this or poly6?

[@hutti]

The Poly 61 is much cheaper and in my opinion it can compete with the Polysix.

[@helgdestadganzen9699]

Продай мне его

[@dannydeal7552]

I bought one new in Nov/83 for $1100.00 like a moron I traded it.

[@synthartist69]

Well, I think we all have done that and many us, like me, several times over. If only we had crystal balls to see the future :) I remember seeing the Poly61M at a music new brand new back in 1985. I dreamed about having one, I was 16 years old. I was dirt poor. $1,100.00 to me back then would be like $50,000.00 to me today!!
