Gee, who knew my old Mono/Poly had a following?

Hey, this is kind of fun. I have a mint Korg Mono/Poly, bought new around 1983. I've never wanted to part with it even though my band days are well behind me. I've always treated it well and somehow managed to avoid any roadwear. Lately I've been wandering around on the web, googling "Korg Mono/Poly." I seem to be an accidental member of a little clubhouse of sorts. And hey, why not? It's tons of fun tweaking all those knobs and buttons, a very personalized palette. Any goombah can choose a voice from a menu. <g> (and I do it all the time). Aside from studiously coming up with voices to approximate the sound of whatever cover we were doing in the band, one of my favorite goofing- around projects was to come up with the most obnoxious sound possible. This almost invariably involved ring modulation.
