Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

I guess so, although I am not convinced all this silicon and discrete
components would fit on a board the same size as the Œ367!  If I was
redesigning the Œ367 then I would also be tempted to use a CPU with better
I/O expansion than the Z80 which takes over the the 8048 when the kit is
fitted. Then you could dump all the 40 pin PPIs. Also you¹d be able to open
up flash RAM for patch storage, instead of SRAM, etc Bottom line is that:

1. Eventually you¹ll have designed something that is no longer a Polysix
2. The R and D time for this is massive!

Hey, you could even sample of the voice from a Polysix and then play it back
from a ROM instead of using all those horrid old SSM chips! Hold on, got to
go, people are starting to throw stones at me!

Cheers,
Andy
