    Description

    Get that fat Korg analog sound in a digitally programmed platform with easy preset recall and storage. This is a professional grade synthesizer and was Korg's early entry into the portable performance instrument space. Check out this video for a good idea of what this synthesizer is capable of -

    This keyboard has been modified with both the 'Moog-Slayer' and 'FM' filter modifications*, providing real time patch performance capability that it previously lacked.
    I am the original owner and this synth has not been abused. It is in perfect working condition with all control surfaces functioning normally, and there is no corrosion in the battery compartment. Always kept in a smoke free environment.
    Included are all accessories pictured:
    Korg Poly-800 synthesizer
    Custom fit hard case
    Single mono audio cord
    MIDI cables
    Power supply
    Manual
    Factory sound parameter sheet
    Factory programmer cassette
    I cannot guarantee the usability of the programmer cassette, but the original wav sound file as well as other custom distributions are freely downloadable from several sources on the internet and uses a standard audio signal fed into the programming input.
    This unit will ship without batteries, so it will need to be programmed by you before it will make useable sounds.
    Or of course you can simply start creating your own sounds right out of the box - but be sure to keep it powered with batteries or by keeping the power plugged in and turned on unless you like starting from scratch every time!
    This version uses C-cells for memory backup as opposed to other versions that had a lithium button cell permanently soldered in, making replacement a snap. Keeping it plugged in and turned on while changing batteries will also preserve patch and sequencer memories.
    The hard case has it's share of dings, but it is structurally sound and offers terrific protection for travel.
    I am a US seller and can usually get things shipped within 2 business days.

    Buyer should be aware that while these modifications expand the capabilities of the synthesizer, they also provide a range of adjustment that goes outside of normal operating parameters that really can blow out speakers if not careful.
