PLEASE NOTE: Fitting a Retrofit Kit is a skilled job which should be undertaken only by a competent synth service engineer or fitted by us at our premises in South London.

MIDI Retrifit 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:
  None added - only what the Poly-61 already has

  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.
