Topic: Poly 800

i already asked about it on the old CBS forum.
some how mange to work it out and now problems again

got reversed keys Korg Poly-800. it receives all MIDI channels at the same time.
doesn't matter on which channel it sets.
i think it's known issue but if i remember right rude had some way to solve it or a link to some site about it
i looked over the web but couldn't find nothing.

thanks

Re: Poly 800

there is the hawk800 mod that can be purchased at http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/ .

Re: Poly 800

i used to find (before i sold mine) that if you adjust the parameter for the midi channel immediately after you turn it on, that this resolves the problem. After a while you'll just do it automatically.

From memory...

turn unit on
hit parameter button
type in 86
adjust value up one
adjust value down one

hope that works for you

Re: Poly 800

regular poly 800. i found an mp3 of the sounds.. i cant get an error or good..

does it matter if it is a stereo or mono cable?

Re: Poly 800

I had success loading them when I tried different volume levels, I think if the levels clip a even a little the data corrupts.

I also had problems loading the sounds in from most mp3s and wavs. This one has finally worked for me.
