The Poly-800 was comparable to theJuno-106 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagesynth.com\/roland\/juno106.php\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, at the time, with respect to the fact that musicians now had access to affordable programmable polyphonic analog synthesizers (it listed for under $1,000) with memory storage, stable DCOs (digitally controlled oscillators) and a new state-of-the-art technology called MIDI (although there was no SysEx implementation yet).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Poly-800 is an eight-voice instrument (two more than the Juno series) with 64 memory patches (half of what the Juno-106 offered) and up to 50 editable parameters! Like the Juno, the Poly-800 had one DCO per voice, although it did feature a Double mode in which the oscillators could be stacked up for a fuller sound and only four voices of polyphony. The analog filter is a 24dB\/oct low-pass which is shared by all voices (the Juno has separate filter chips for each voice). There's also a stereo chorus effect, chord memory, a simple built-in sequencer, three digital envelope generators (for the oscillators, the noise generator and the filter), and a funky joystick used to adjust the pitch, modulation and the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Juno, which was still a “studio” instrument, the Poly-800 was built for the performer. With a light-weight plastic case (only 10 lb.), a couple low-profile sliders\/knobs and only 49 keys, the Poly-800 can run on batteries and has guitar strap pegs so it can be worn like a keytar. A less common reversed color keys model was released for a unique look as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shop Purchase","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44208419668011,"sku":"Korgp800","price":599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/7883\/files\/MG_4229_bb264ac4-c509-4ae1-857b-a8c63b35dfa4.jpg?v=1781687981","url":"https:\/\/therockinn.com\/products\/korg-poly-800-8-voice-analogue-synthesiser-1980s-pre-owned-1","provider":"The Rock Inn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
