So basically if you like chiptune sounds you’ll adore the Poly-800. The Poly-800 does square waves and sawtooth waves that sound like square waves. However, whether you actually like the sound of those 8 voices is another matter. With two DCOs you have to make due with 4 voices, but for around $800 in 1983 this was ground-breaking. Use it in single DCO mode and you get a surprisingly generous 8 voices. This is apparently due to it using a video game sound chip for its oscillators. Say what you will about Korg’s 1983 affordable poly but it has a unique sound. Would I sell it if I had to? Have done and will do again. Does it find its way into my songs alongside my other synths? Yes, it certainly does. Is it better than a CS-80? No, of course not. I have a hard time being objective because it was my first synth love but I think it sounds just fine. The Korg Poly-800 is certainly a polarizing synth. The KORG Collection is the embodiment of KORG's history the ultimate showcase of the legendary sounds used on countless songs throughout the '70s, '80s, '90s, and '00s.Ah, my first synth. This collection precisely models the circuitry of historic analog synthesizers, fully emulating the depth and complexity of the miniKORG 700S, (KORG's first mass-produced analog synthesizer), the thick, persistent sound and flexible patching of the MS-20, the built-in effects of the six-note polyphonic Polysix, the thick, 4VCO monophony and unique polyphony of the Mono/Poly, and ARP's signature ARP Odyssey.Ī vast array of digital synthesizers also await your command, including the M1, the iconic multi-functional workstation that revolutionized the music industry, the TRITON, a pillar of 2000s sound, the TRITON Extreme, the vacuum tube powered peak of the TRITON line, the WAVESTATION, which synthesizes and combines multiple waveforms for smooth tone changes and the Prophecy, a physical modeling synthesizer developed to explore brand new sonic worlds.
