Pretty cool mod…
Well done!!!
This video just turned me on. (yes, while laughing at the crazy subtitles). As a long-time PolySix owner I have never dared dream of such things. Drool….
Subtitles are awesome !
This is HUGE!
Midi implementation without losing load/save from tape or any other function as far as I can see. Little confusing at first that the additional panel has nothing to do with the mod, that’s called the Polysex. I’ll be buying two of these for both my six and 61. Sequencing at last!!!!!!! Midi clock finally!!!!!! Cannot wait!
Oh man my Poly61 is going to be so happy! Cant wait to get this mod and finally make my 61 MIDI compatible.
Looks neat.
