Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Are those the midi jacks way over on the right hand wood panel at the end of the yellow wires? Considering they should be as close as possible and preferably use shielded cable, those look like they are as far away as possible and not shielded, although the tight twist in the wire does a decent job of cancelling out any noise picked up.
Back to the Polysix we are looking at, I have some questions about where they are getting power from. Both boards need power. I can see a pair of red/black or orange/black wires coming off the board that was wrapped in foam, but I can’t see what the other end of these wires is connected to and it looks like the wires may be looped around in a messy coil. Not good. I assume the other board gets powered over the ribbon cable.

The EES midi interface seems to have been a generic platform, perhaps with a bit of code customization for the related synth/organ etc.   Otherwise, it's also here on this Oberheim OBX... I'll ask Sneak-Thief if he knows anything of it as he's very much hardware/software savvy...
