Korg Poly-800 Synth + Strymon BigSky Reverb

  • Опубліковано 10 жов 2016
  • Demonstrating some of my favorite patches on my 1983 Korg Poly-800 analog synthesizer. Simple four-note chords can sound tremendous with very little or no effects on this synth. For some added ambience, I am running the synth in stereo to a Strymon BigSky reverb pedal with a very low mix of reverb and "shimmer." Also, I added echo/delay in some clips using the built-in presets in the amp (Line6 Spider III 150W head). Other than that, the sounds are straight from the synth without any post-processing.
    Thanks for watching!

    Very glad I kept my Korg. Still working.

    Korg made some underrated gems in the mid eighties. DW6000/8000 and the Poly 800/61. All 4 great machines.

    I lent mine out 15 years ago, got it back the day before yesterday. Unfortunately, it no longer works .... no power ... my 16-year-old self is now deeply saddened!

    I've learned this from recent videos like this one: even an imperfect synth (or any other audio source) sounds amazing through a high quality reverb. Going to install the Valhalla Super Massive VST today. It appears to be FREE!

    I sure do miss mine. It finally fried itself.

    The Big Sky almost makes the P800 sound like a Jp8. Great vid!

    The flute sound was my favorite. and the hold button control.

    this keyboard was a dream of mine as a kid, never got it though, I found one at a flea market and bought it but when I got home to test it it didn't work, crushed dreams, so I took it back and got my $60 bucks back.

    "Stranger Things" made me dig mine out the closet. Just a new power cord and I was good to go. I used patch 42 a lot. One of my songs in the studio with my band used it. There's. A "Jump" sound on it too. At least close anyway

    Great Sounds! I have my original Korg dw8000 and you’ve made up my mind to get the new strymon big sky Mx!

    Tremendous sounds! The deeper I delve with this synth the more I love it. But it sounds excellent through that reverb.

    I used to have a Korg Poly 800 many years ago...sounds great with a big sky

    i absolutely love this synth for medieval /gothic / Tolkien tones. Easy and fun to learn synthesis. Add a vintage processor like the MPX 100 and fire up the lava lamps. run the sequencer and sweep through the cutoff filter. perfect for long journeys as a music bed.

    I bought one of these the day they came out way back when; I still have an EX800. Still love this synth. I used to do spring reverb back in the day, but this is mahvalous!
