  • Page 3: Connection To Midi System

    FEATURES FEATURES P6-M is a MIDI retrofit for Korg Polysix synthesizer. The most significant benefit of the interface is the control of the instrument's VCF. Modulation of VCF by Velocity and Chnl Aftertouch MIDI commands will allow you to achieve a much richer range of sound colours. Also additional LFO (with many user adjustable parameters) is embedded for extended VCF modulation.
