NoisySix Info:


The NoisySix is an after-market synthesizer modification / upgrade kit for the Korg Polysix synthesizer by Vintage Synth Lab. The NoisySix adds variable level of white / pink noise, plus six total (five new) L.F.O. wave-shapes to replace the internal M.G. (Modulation Generator) for the Kork Polysix. The M.G. of the Polysix can be routed to the VCO, VCF, and VCA as usual.

​

Pink or White noise can be selected by the NOISE-SEL 3-position switch. Amount of noise can be controlled from the NOISE level control knob. The noise is summed into the VCF of each voice. The noise source

PLEASE READ: This kit was intended to be installed into the Korg Poylsix synthesizer. The Polysix synthesizer must be modified in order to use the NoisySix circuit. Please see the Installation Guide for details, cautions, and recommendations.

​

CAUTION: For KIWISIX mainboard Polysix owners and service personnel: The NoisySix is not compatible with the Kiwisix mainboard. The NoisySix was designed to utilize the original Korg Polysix.


The simple reason is that the NoisySix was designed to adapt to a portion of the circuit on the original KLM-367A ("CPU Mainboard"), specifically the: DAC, Mux/Demux, S&H + buffers. Those particular circuits were eliminated on the Kiwisix design, naturally through consolidation of software / firmware to handle those functions.

Here is one example of why the NoisySix requires the original KLM-367 mainboard...
