For filters, the DK family uses the SSM2045, while the Poly-800 family uses their usual NJM2069. Both use 8 bit microprocessors and BBD style chorus, but so do most synths of that era. To find out how deep the similarities go between the Poly-800 and DK families, the circuit Components were also investigated. The DK family dual track sequencer is real-time, while the Poly800 family single track sequencer is step-time. Unlike the Poly-800 family, the DK family supports velocity (routed to amps and filter) and the sustain pedal can be assigned to the volume envelopes individually. Neither family offers VCA LFO modulation (tremolo). The DK family filter LFO waveform can be a triangle or square (pitch and Poly-800 LFO waveform is a triangle). Poly800 LFO delay) and selectable triggering. The DK family LFOs also feature initial and sustain levels (IAS envelope vs. However, the DK family has dedicated pitch and filter frequency LFOs (vs. ModulationД«oth families share similar envelopes, featuring dedicated ADBSSR volume envelopes for each oscillator and the filter (shared by the noise VCA). Noise can also bypass the filter in the DK family. The DK family can also weight the square harmonics in any pattern, since each square wave harmonic volume is variable (vs.

However, the DK family offers a saw waveform, while the Poly800 family can weight the square harmonics volumes in a saw pattern. Sound SourceДЄs mentioned in the introduction, both families share a similar architecture, including additive square waves (4 harmonics) and single/dual oscillator modes.

Additionally, the DK family has a cartridge interface to store more programs andВ there is no bitimbral equivalent to the DK-80 in the Korg family. However, the DK-70 removable neck has a pitch ribbon and three control buttons (mod depth and assignable), while the Poly800 has the familiar Korg joystick (pitch bend, filter/pitch mod). Carrying the similarities further, both the Poly-800 and the DK-70 have strap pegs to be warn guitar style (keytar) and can run off batteries (6 Cs or 8 AAs, respectively).

Both can be rack mounted with optional rack ear kits, although they would take a lot of rack space (5-6U plus cable clearance). plastic), with similar buttons, knobs, and parameters displayed in the top half of the face. They are both table top units of about the same size (although the EX-800 is metal vs. The Korg EX-800 and Siel EX-80 (Suzuki SX-500) share a lot closer resemblance than just model numbers. FWIW, these DK synths are not siblings to the DK-600 and DK-700, which are related to the Siel Opera 6. For a little background, both the DK family (DK-70, DK-80, EX-80) and the Poly800 family (Poly-800, Poly-800II, EX-800) have similar styling, parameters, and unusual architecture, sharing a single filter between all voices (two filters in the case of the DK-80), so the amplifier feeds the filter (vs. If you are wondering what this has to do with Siel DK or Korg Poly-800 synth families, the SX-500 is a rebadged Siel EX-80 (the expander for the DK-80).
