EXi: PolysixEX
PolysixEX Overview
The PolysixEX is a rich-sounding, easy-to-use, high-
polyphony virtual analog synth (up to 180 voices!). It
combines the features and sonic character of the classic Korg
Polysix (and the Legacy Polysix plug-in) with many
additional capabilities unique to the NAUTILUS. Features
include:
• Korg’s proprietary CMT (Component Modeling
Technology)
• Up to 180-voice polyphony
• Oscillator, sub-oscillator, and 4-pole resonant lowpass
filter
• Dedicated chorus/ensemble/phaser effects
• Classic ADSR envelope, plus two multi-stage EGs
• Classic “MG” LFO, plus two multi-waveform LFOs
• Easy-to-use, sample-accurate arpeggiator
• Extensive AMS modulation, plus four AMS mixers
• Access to all standard EXi Program features, including
the Common LFO, Common Step Sequencer, Key Track
1 & 2, Arpeggiator, EQ, and effects–as well as layering
with any other EXi (including using two PolysixEXs
together!)
PolysixEX uses EXi fixed resources
The PolysixEX uses EXi fixed resources for its built-in
effects. These take up a small amount of processing power,
even if you’re not playing any notes.
Because of this, you can use only 16 PolysixEXs
simultaneously in a Combination or Song. If other EXis with
fixed resources are in use, the maximum number of
PolysixEXs will be reduced accordingly. Each EXi in each
Program counts towards the maximum; for instance, a
Program with two PolysixEXs counts as two, not as one.
For more information, see “CX-3 & other EXi: Limitations
on EXi fixed resources” on page 380.
