The Poly-800 has a very recognizable sound - typically 80s Korg. These cookies ensure basic functionalities and security features of the website, anonymously.

I had a long power and midi cable that allowed me to walk around. Image: using the Poly800 during a live performance with the band Intensive Care in Diogenes (13 March 1991) in Nijmegen. With a light-weight plastic case, a couple low-profile sliders/knobs and only 49 keys, the Poly-800 can run on batteries and has guitar strap pegs so it can be worn like a keytar. Unlike the Juno, which was still a “studio” instrument, the Poly-800 was built for the performer.
KORG POLY 800 GENERATOR
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 joystick used to adjust the pitch, modulation and the filter. 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 Poly-800 was comparable to the Juno-106, with respect to the fact that musicians now had access to affordable programmable polyphonic analog synthesizers with memory storage, stable DCOs (digitally controlled oscillators) and a new state-of-the-art technology called MIDI (although there was no SysEx implementation yet). Perhaps the internal battery died but I never bothered to check.Īt a time when Roland was doing well with their Juno-series, KORG countered with a poly-synth of their own in 1983 with the Poly-800. Although I could still play in through MIDI, at a later stage it didn’t make any sound anymore.



KORG POLY 800 CRACKED
I accidently dropped it on its joystick which resulted in a cracked circuit board. Unfortunately, my KORG Poly 800 is not working any more.
