Description
PLEASE NOTE: Installing a retrofit kit is a skilled job which should be undertaken only by a competent synth service engineer or installed by us at our premises in Tadworth, just outside London.
Note also that retrofit kits are always built to order after your payment has been processed. It then takes us up to 10 working days to build and test the kit before we can despatch it.
Retrofit Kit
This retrofit kit for the Korg Poly-61 adds the following MIDI control:
For incoming MIDI:
Any MIDI channel can be selected
Notes (MIDI note numbers 36 – 96) – transpose possible
Program change (numbers 1 – 40)
Pitchbend – (bends up and down a fifth)
Mod Wheel
Filter cutoff frequency (of low pass filter)
Volume
Sustain (decay on-off)
By default:
pitchbend is controlled by pitchbend messages
mod wheel is controlled by Mod Wheel (CC#1) and also by Aftertouch messages
filter cutoff is controlled by CC#16
Volume is controlled by MIDI volume (CC#7)
Sustain is controlled by Sustain (CC#64)
however, any controller or aftertouch or velocity can be mapped to control other things so for example velocity could be mapped to control volume.
For outgoing MIDI:
Notes (MIDI note numbers 36 – 96)
Hardware:
MIDI In, Out & Thru sockets
Push button (for programming the MIDI setup)
Setups are stored in non-volatile memory (Eeprom)
The kit comprises the following items:
Circuit board – fits in the top panel of the Poly-61
Small pack – contains DIN sockets and mounting hardware
Large pack – contains cable assemblies
User instructions – How to change from default settings and general instructions
Fitting instructions – step by step fitting guide plus diagrams of where to connect what
All kits are fully checked and tested before despatch
Note: Our retrofit kits are not intended for installation by the end user. They should always be fitted by an experienced synth engineer.
