Korg Mono/Poly

Hello,I'm also very interested, it would be nice if you can finish this project.
You could do running this board in parallel to the original filter-vca? so not to replace the original ssm

Yep. It is on hold. And I am not sure, whether I will continue.



I stopped it in November 2009, as I got a broken Polysix, which I tried 

to resurrect. I wanted to add individual switches for the VCO to the 

Polysix like in the MonoPoly. This way I would have had the same 

arpeggiator tricks with different VCO settings as with the MonoPoly. But 

then again, I had to sell the Polysix again, because I definitely ran 

out of "storage credit" by my girlfriend ;-) (I bought some other gear 

too the last years...).



Now the MonoPoly project has returned to my attention again, but I have 

only a little time for it. I have redesigned the pcbs for the quad 

envelopes (based on SSM2051's from a broken Poly61) in July, but no 

other progress happened since then until now (October).



As said I am not sure, whether I will finish this project, as planned. 

Maybe I will change the quad Envelope to a 3HE compatibel module. I 

bought also a prototype of the Doepfer Quad FilterVcaPanner 

http://www.doepfer.de/a1352.htm / http://www.doepfer.de/A1352.gif. So 

these two might be a good extension for the monopoly too.

Ok, if you can convice my boss, that I don't have to come to work the 
next two months, but he still pays my salary - then I might think it 
over ;-)

My plan was to have a four-voice Filter/VCA/Envelopes board, where I can 
select between a four voice mode and the original single voice mode (the 
single voicemode is much better for unisono and chordmemory). This board 
should replace the original board, but it still would work with SSM2044 
for the filter (I bought them already from technology transplant), but 
with SSM2051 for the envelopes instead of the more discrete circuit of 
the original envelope.
