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. 

The P6-M interface controls:  

• 

Instrument's keyboard (remote pressing of keys) 

• 

Selection of Bank / Program (remote control of the PROGRAMMER section buttons) 

• 

Selection of key assignment (remote control of the KEY ASSIGN MODE section buttons) 

• 

Instrument's VCF modulation by MIDI Note Velocity and Channel Aftertouch 

• 

Instrument's VCF modulation by additional LFO (synchronization by MIDI Clock is possible) 

• 

Instrument's arpeggiator switching on / off (remote control of the ARPEGGIO button) 

• 

Instrument's arpeggiator clock source and speed (synchronization by MIDI Clock is possible) 

The interface has internal memory for saving of interface’s own settings. Content of the memory can be backed 
up in any MIDI DAW, sequencer, etc. 

The interface only receives MIDI data and converts them to signals for the Polysix control. The instrument’s 
own  control elements (keyboard, switches,  knobs,  etc.)  are not transmitted as  a MIDI  data  and their status 
cannot be saved in the interface’s memory as a program. 

Almost all functions of the interface are simply controlled by standard MIDI Control Changes (CCs) and Program 
Change MIDI commands. Some special functions controlled by SysEx messages are available for advanced users.

Data from the host MIDI system (PC, DAW, sequencer, master keyboard, etc.) are coming to MIDI-IN input of

 coming to the MIDI input are transferred unaffected to MIDI-THRU/OUT output of the interface 

(THRU function). The THRU function enables another MIDI device(s) to be connected without additional MIDI 
Thru-Box. MIDI input of the other (next in chain) MIDI device can be simply fed from MIDI-THRU/OUT output of 
the interface (see fig. 1). 

If there are no other MIDI devices to be used, only MIDI-IN cable is necessary (from MIDI host system to MIDI-
IN input of the interface).
