KORG Polysix News!

[@TravisAvey84]

Awesome! Sounds great! I’m definitely fond of what Korg does and how they sound. I don’t have a Moog yet, though 😅

[@mwmusic29]

I had a Grandmother for a while - loved it! Thanks for stopping by!

[@Marie-LouiseArt]

I love how life brings people together. It is only today that I was thinking of using a few of the string tunes I made a few years ago and haven't touched it as I have been quite intimidated by the Korg PA1000 which I am lucky enough to have. Thank you for connecting. You are an inspiration.

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks for the kind words. I'm a terrible artist but have found some joy in "trying" with Adobe Fresco and the ability to merge it with original music seems to improve it all. Have you tried adding your string tunes to your art videos? Might be a fun experiment! 😉

[@Marie-LouiseArt]

@@mwmusic29 funnily enough, I hadn't before today. That is why this connection is so serendipitous but since all my string tunes were sombre due to my dad passing at the time of my learning, I am now going to use one for a Remembrance Day pour I am planning. If you ever wish to share your music or can replicate Nimrod's Enigma, let me know and I can add it to the requiem list of about 4 tunes I am planning. I would credit you of course. I have a meditation channel which I used all my own music for if you are interested (Beyouruniquepotential). They sound very ambient. I am looking forward to making my way through your videos too. Happy Saturday eve. Adobe Fresco sounds super fun! 😉

@@Marie-LouiseArt Thanks for the kind offer - I'll see what can be done. I'm happy to have been connected with you and look forward to hearing your Remembrance Day production! I'll drop by the other channel as well. Have a great weekend!

Beautiful machine, what a sound! It was my childhood dream to have it, but my parents could not afford one...

[@mwmusic29]

I appreciate you stopping by! Did you ever end up getting one?

[@Flimpy74]

@@mwmusic29 Nope. 30 years later I had to settle with VST version. Thank you for preserving that piece of history.

[@mwmusic29]

@@Flimpy74 The VST is really nice too!

[@toskabyss]

Sounds great! I admire the hard work you put in to get the awesome box up and rolling again.

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks! It’s been a journey for sure

[@midas1048]

the polysix sounds just so wonderful! dark and warm and rich and emotional... i need to have one :D

[@mwmusic29]

It’s really a fantastic synth! Thanks for stopping by!

[@Spirit_of_Celestine]

Sounds awesome 🌹 Fantastic work ✯♡︎✯

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks for watching!!

[@varixclub]

In the mid-eighties the Polysix was the first synth of my own. But it had those battery issues and I let it go... Thanks for your rescuing those old synths, they're worth it - and thanks for showing us those fat sounds that you produce with it.

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks so much for stopping by! Cool that you had a Polysix as your first synth!!

[@MatthewLowes]

Fantastic analog sound coming from the Polysix! I look forward to hearing your review. Cheers. :)

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks for stopping by! 😃

[@DisciplinedCommotion]

sounds rich and creamy, fantastic

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll have more noise to share soon. 😆

[@IanWaugh]

Hi Matt - Great stuff! Although I can't repair anything, it's fascinating to watch other people doing it 👍 As for reviews - there are those who go through it knob for knob which is great for the info. But what I really like to see in a review is what the reviewer actually thinks of the gear on a personal level. You get to know the reviewer, what they like and don't, and can then relate it to the instrument. The former is easy but it's like a walk through the manual. YT channels are about people and personalities and I like to know what individuals think, not what companies want them to say 😊

[@mwmusic29]

That’s good to know Ian and I appreciate you sharing! I’ll keep that in mind while I’m working up a review. 😃

[@synthsamuraiproductions]

Thats sounds awesome man!!!

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks!!

[@carine_cover]

I like your sound tests, they are pretty and you can hear the sound quality really well 👍19🎹

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks for listening! 🙂

[@KRIS.7S]

Amazing sound and really great video Matt, Awesome job !!!!!! 👏👏👏

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks a lot!!

[@JeffPalmer83]

Sounds fantastic!

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks Jeff!

[@AmbientSound7]

Matt, you created some really nice sounds. BTW, the sound quality of your videos are excellent. Is everything coming out of external speakers?

[@mwmusic29]

Thanks Brad! When I do the speaking parts I'm using OBS on my Mac and recording the audio and video straight into that software. Then it kicks it all out in a MOV file. For anything else, like performaces, I usually film on my iPhone and record the audio in Pro Tools, and then merge them afterwards. I find that process to be tedious and I'm sure there's a better way to do it but I haven't advanced that far yet in my production skills. :)

[@AmbientSound7]

@@mwmusic29 I am light years away from your technical abilities. My keyboard is connected to a Tascam Portastudio with an SD card. I export my music to my computer and combine song and a picture on Photo App. From your Pro Tools, are you able to upload your music directly to KZbin?

[@mwmusic29]

@@AmbientSound7 Nothing wrong with that process! Whatever it takes to get the job done. :) I’ve never tried exporting from PT to KZbin. I wouldn’t be surprised if it could do that - I think I use about 7% of what PT is capable of!

[@吉井秀樹-p9w]

Thank you for the informative lecture✨

[@jokchung]

Matt, that vintage analog sizzle is so awesome. I hope Korg finally do a new release of the polysix!

[@mwmusic29]

That would be wonderful! I like what Roland has done with some of their reissues and I think KORG could find some success with a similar approach. Thanks for stopping by!

[@dani_raudvik]

That's a great set of sounds coming out of the Polysix. Really looking forward to hearing what the NTS-1 can do paired up with this.

[@mwmusic29]

Me too!

[@Gerald_Daniel]

Do you repair? About the first sound: Does your Polysix have After Touch or is it the inverted EG?

[@mwmusic29]

My dad and I do repair work. There’s no aftertouch on the Polysix unless someone figured out a way to modify it. You were hearing the EG on that first patch. :)

[@Gerald_Daniel]

Father and son unity. That is nice. I absolutely didn't have that at all. I wish I could repair. Whenever I opened something, I was glad if it still worked after closing.

[@mwmusic29]

@@Gerald_Daniel Ha! I understand! He has all the electrical knowledge and I assist and learn and try not to break anything!

[@Gerald_Daniel]

Btw there is at least one (but I guess there is still another) expansion board for the Polysix. One if them is called Tubbutec Modysix.

[@mwmusic29]

@@Gerald_Daniel Thanks - yeah I will discuss one of those boards when I do my review video. We used one on the last Polysix we rebuilt. Thanks! :)

[@PongpromFanPage]

I heard distorted that I'm surely it's not what the original tone of PolySix, it might be some effects you added, I quessed.. I don't know. But I had 2 of them and used them every day in 80's days. If there's no extra overdrive FX there, I think you should compare it to other P6 near by.

[@mwmusic29]

I think I may have an issue with the resonance. I will have to explore more
