The Korg Delta was part of the Korg series of synths given Greek name titles - The Sigma, Lamda & Delta. These were Korgs main 3 units until the much more powerful Trident arrived in 1980. While the Sigma & Lamda were essentially preset player units, the Delta offered full synthesis sections & was essentially a combi synth & string machine which while not delivering a wealth of sound variety, is respected for doing the little that it does very well indeed!
The Korg Delta is similar to the rarer Italian Chase Trilogy unit, having seperate string & synth sections on the front panel, each with their own dedicated controls & functions, and again like the Chase Trilogy these sections both have their own dedicated physical outputs on the rear of the unit. It's polyphonic although it uses divide-down oscillator technology like most early organs & other early units such as from Arp and others. You get plenty of notes playable at once - 49 in total, one per key basically - but they are all derived from the same master oscillator rather than being delivered on a one oscillator per voice basis.
The Delta is a rare beastie with it's own sound, check out some of the youtube demos for how it sounds.
