The Unperson Unleashes the Korg Poly-800: Cheap, Cheeky, and Still a Street Weapon

If you think vintage synths are all museum pieces and wallet-busters, think again. The Unperson dives into the Korg Poly-800—a synth that crashed the 80s party with paraphonic swagger and a price tag that didn’t require selling a kidney. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s a hands-on, no-DAW, all-hardware jam that shows what happens when you push a plastic legend to its limits. Expect quirky programming, factory sounds that punch above their weight, and a performance that proves you don’t need a laptop to fill a rave bunker. The Poly-800: underrated? You bet. Boring? Not a chance.
