In the last few years, synthesizer manufacturers have been flocking to put the smallest, lowest-resolution screens possible on their synths. Lately, micro-sized OLED screens have become the norm, although some manufacturers are using very-low resolution LCDs.

This is episode three in the Polysix restoration series. In this episode, we disassemble, clean and refurbish the keybed. Next we remove all the controls from the front panel, clean and refurbish them, then make the modifications required for the Kiwisix retrofit. The very first synthesizer I ever bought, back in 1987, was a Korg Polysix. These venerable synths have a monster sound, but time is not kind to their inner electronics. In this video series, I will take a nonfunctional Polysix with severe internal damage and make it better than new, bringing modern capabilities, MIDI, and better quality sound while retaining what makes the PolySix so special! Join me on this restoration journey.
