INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
P6-KBD is a MIDI retrofit for the Korg Polysix synthesizer. The device enables the Polysix to be controlled via
MIDI as a MIDI expander. P6-KBD controls the instrument's keyboard and it also synchronizes the arpeggiator
speed with MIDI Clock.
The interface works in one direction only – it only receives MIDI data. The instrument's keyboard, control panel
sliders and switches are not transmitted are not transmitted as a MIDI data! are not transmitted are not transmitted
Standard Channel and Common System MIDI commands or System Exclusive messages are used for setting of
the interface.

Functional diagram of the interface is on fig. 1. The
interface controls the instrument's keyboard
parallel manner - own instrument's keyboard can also
be used together with the MIDI Notes.
The interface also can synchronize the arpeggiator
speed to external MIDI Clock or ignore the
synchronization data and use the Polysix's internal
clock generator.
No other control elements No other control elements (switches, sliders, etc.) or No other control elements No other control elements
sound parameters of the instrument are driven
MIDI.
All interface's functions are controlled via parameters adjusted by user via MIDI commands (

the interface's parameters are temporary only!
