INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
P6-KBD is a MIDI retrofit for the Korg Polysix synthesizer. The device enables the Polysix to be controlled via
MIDI as a MIDI expander. P6-KBD controls the instrument’s keyboard and it also synchronizes the arpeggiator
speed with MIDI Clock.
The interface works in one direction only – it only receives MIDI data. The instrument’s keyboard, control panel
sliders and switches are not transmitted
are not transmittedare not transmitted
are not transmitted as a MIDI data!
Standard Channel and Common System MIDI commands or System Exclusive messages are used for setting of
the interface.

INTERFACE BASIC OPERATION INTERFACE BASIC OPERATIONINTERFACE BASIC OPERATION
INTERFACE BASIC OPERATION
There are no controllers or indicators on the interface. All interface’s parameters / functions are adjustable only
via MIDI commands transmitted from a MIDI data source (DAW, sequencer, …).
After reset (during each instrument start-up), the interface’s parameters are always set to their default values
(
①
①①
① on fig. 2) as shows table 1.
During the interface operation, the parameters can be changed via MIDI CCs
(

via SysEx messages (

③ on fig. 2 - see chapter 3.3). All these changes are temporary only – they are lost when
the instrument is switched off!

MIDI CHANNEL PARAMETER MIDI CHANNEL PARAMETERMIDI CHANNEL PARAMETER
MIDI CHANNEL PARAMETER
This parameter sets the basic MIDI channel for communication with MIDI DAW / sequencer. Any of the 16
available channels can be set as well as MIDI OMNI mode

.
Parameter values are 0 to 16. Values 0 to 15 represent MIDI channels 1 to 16. Value 16 is for OMNI MODE.
The value of this parameter can be adjusted only by MIDI System Exclusive Message (

③ on fig. 2 - see chapter
3.3).

KEY SHIFT PARAMETER KEY SHIFT PARAMETERKEY SHIFT PARAMETER
KEY SHIFT PARAMETER
This parameter transposes range of the instrument’s keyboard in whole scale of MIDI notes. The parameter
value specifies exactly the number of MIDI Note which is assigned to the lowest key of the instrument’s
keyboard.
Values of the parameter can be from 0 to 67. If value 0 is set (transposition is 0), the lowest key of the keyboard
corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 0 and the highest key corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 60. If value 1 of the
parameter is set, (transposition is +1), the lowest key of the keyboard corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 1 and the
highest key corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 61. Etc., up to value 67 of the parameter (transposition is +67) when
the lowest key of the keyboard corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 67 and the highest key corresponds to MIDI Note
Nr. 127. See fig. 3 for more details.
The value of this parameter can be adjusted by MIDI CC #16 (see chapter 3.1.2) or by SysEx message (see
chapter 3.3).

OMNI mode enables the instrument to receive data on all 16 MIDI channels simultaneously.

KEY PRIORITY PARAMETER KEY PRIORITY PARAMETERKEY PRIORITY PARAMETER
KEY PRIORITY PARAMETER
Value of the parameter adjusts incoming MIDI Note On/Off commands processing in case of all six tone
generators of the instrument are being used (all six voices are sounding).
Valid parameter values are 0 to 3:
0 Æ LAST: Last key priority – the last pressed key always replaces the first key pressed.
1 Æ HIGHER: Higher key priority – if the last pressed key is of higher tone than any of the previously pressed
keys, the lowest key tone is replaced.
2 Æ LOWER: Lower key priority – if the last pressed key is of lower tone than any of the previously pressed
keys, the highest key tone is replaced.
3 Æ NONE: No priority – if all eight tone generators are being used, all Note On commands are ignored at
the MIDI input.
The value of this parameter can be adjusted by MIDI CC #17 (see chapter 3.1.2) or by SysEx message (see
chapter 3.3).

PITCH BEND RANGE PARAMETER PITCH BEND RANGE PARAMETERPITCH BEND RANGE PARAMETER
PITCH BEND RANGE PARAMETER
This parameter adjusts maximum range of the pitch bend controlled by the ”Pitch Bend“ (“Pitch Wheel“) MIDI
command
2 22
2
.
Valid parameter values are 0 to 24. The 0 value switches the pitch bend off - MIDI command “Pitch Bend” is
ignored. The values of 1 to 24 set the bend range in semitones, The ±2 octave transposition is available thus.
The value of this parameter can be adjusted by MIDI CC #18 (see chapter 3.1.2 or by SysEx message (see
chapter 3.3).

2.5
ARPEGGIO CLOCK RATE PARAMETER ARPEGGIO CLOCK RATE PARAMETERARPEGGIO CLOCK RATE PARAMETER
ARPEGGIO CLOCK RATE PARAMETER
This parameter selects arpeggiator clock source and adjusts the arpeggiator tempo for MIDI clock
synchronization.
Valid parameter values are 0 to 127.
The value of 0 switches the Polysix's internal clock generator on - the arpeggio speed is adjusted by the SPEED
knob on the instrument's panel or by external clock impulses from the ARPEGGIO TRIG IN connector on the rear
panel.
The parameter values 1 to 127 synchronize the arpeggiator speed according to the incoming MIDI Clock data.
The parameter’s value then sets prescaler of MIDI Clock, i.e. number of MIDI Clock pulses for one arpeggiator
step. The value 1 represents 127 MIDI Clock pulses, 2 represents 126 MIDI Clock pulses, etc. up to value 127
which represents one MIDI Clock pulse length of the arpeggiator step. For the conversion rates see Table 2.
The value of this parameter can be adjusted by MIDI CC #19 (see chapter 3.1.2 or by SysEx message (see
chapter 3.3).

Pitch Bend MIDI command affects only tones launched by MIDI Notes. Own instrument’s keyboard is not affected.

If the controller is active and the Note On command for an already playing note is received, the envelope

PITCH BEND (PITCH WHEEL) PITCH BEND (PITCH WHEEL)PITCH BEND (PITCH WHEEL)
PITCH BEND (PITCH WHEEL)
"Pitch Bend" ("Pitch Wheel") has a standard function - it changes the tune of the notes played. The minimal /
maximal range is adjusted by the "Pitch Wheel Range" parameter (±0 to ±24 semitones).
Since the interface does not have direct access to the control voltage (CV) of the instrument’s tone generators,
the tone is not detuned continuously but in semitone steps. Together with the tuning changes, the envelope
generators are re-trigged.

If the "Arpg Clock Rate" parameter is equal to 0, MIDI Clock commands are ignored. For larger values of "Arpg
Clock Rate", the interface receives synchronization impulses of the MIDI Clock for the arpeggiator tempo (see
chapter 2.5).
The maximum arpeggiator tempo is limited by the instrument’s hardware. At extremely high speeds or tempos,
the arpeggiator might play out of tempo or omit notes.

The generator is based on Java scripts so it can run on any computer with web browser (Windows, OSX, etc.)
