The Arp
-------
The Arp is an easy way to create mind blowing effects with the
polysix. Being able to be triggered at slow, quick, average, or
even random speeds, the polysix arpeggiator is also easy to
use (if you can find a negative trigger, or even use the onboard
programmer).

Samplers
--------
The polysix is great for sampling. I myself recently sampled the
'sixer, blasting loud minor keys, which created a great dark
effect to my song. Also, the polysix can be tweaked to create
some great acid-y sounds to be sampled.

So, MIDI isn't always necessary all the time.

to both strings and brass can open up a large amount of sound to
the analog synth programmer.
