#Korg poly 800 presets Patch

In any case, I'll also change the battery regardless. As soon as I get home I'll see if can receive sysex data. Ah, well.Ill give it another whirl.ДЄlso as far as Ive understood, there seems to be different (older/newer) version of the Poly 800 (ie not mkII). One would figure it wouldnt react at all if its connected in the wrong port.

pdf file, mate.much obliged.Д¬learly I seem to have mismatched the from/to tape connections, though I did try both, of ems weird though, cause I do get the 'ERR' message when connected to 'from tape'. You should probably do a web search to confirm some of this stuff.ДЄllerian: thanks for that. I also seem to remember that some of the earliest versions of the MkI don't actually have a back-up battery, so they lose their patches on power-down anyway - but I'm not entirely sure about this. I think some people retro-fit a new battery arrangement into their Poly 800's to stop this happening, but I'm not sure. I think when the memory battery in the Poly 800 dies, it can sometimes leak over the circuits and damage the machine, so you might want to look into this. It could be, as you said, that the memory battery is dead.

It might be worth looking for patch cassettes on E-Bay also.ДЄs far as the patches disappearing overnight is concerned, I think there could be different reasons for this. (For instance, I think that Korg UK sells a cassette copy of Poly 800 presets.) These are known to work, and you could contact Korg support about this. My suggestion would be that you try some using actual cassette patch files. If you want to know what version of the machine you have, check out this page: (I think only the MkII version can handle sysex patch dumps anyway, and it sounds like you might have the MkI?) I also tried loading some sysex patch files from the web directly over MIDI.

Whether this was because the source wavs were no good, or some other reason, I don't know. Not quite ready to give up on it yet though, as I only got it 2 days agoДЄ while ago I myself tried loading some Poly 800 wav preset files from the web into a MkII version of the synth by connecting the audio line-out from a laptop to the tape-in on the synth.

Proteus: Thats not the way to get a deal.you're not supposed to tell me you want one.you're supposed to tell me its crap and that you humbly offer yourself to relieve me from the burden of owning it I presume its your regular battery than needs a change.I hope. As far as Ive read, only the later Poly 800 mkii would receive sysex.we'll see, else I'll find some old tape deck.Д«y the way.since I have your attention does any of you lads know how this system stores memory/settings? I did two patches late last night and saved them to mem, but woke up this morning only to find that they're gone. Will you believe I dont have a single one my mothers old cyan-coloured walkman would suffice, heh.you know the ones that required 4 batteries to operate and had both a belt-clip and a shoulder-strap.ДЄs soon as I get back home to my modest home-studio, I'll try to see if it can receive sysex.Im not exactly sure what version this poly 800 is. Plastic: Yeah, I kinda figured it could have something to do with my late 90's tape-deck actually.If nothing else, I guess I'll have to dig out an old tape-recorder at some flee-market or something.

wav files too, just in case.and different sound banks (from original to personal custom ones).nuffin.whats up with that? Even if the lithium (?) battery is old, then it should be able to save and load sound banks in mem as long as the power is on, right?ДЄnyone got any bright ideas? or been through this as well? I checked with the user reviews here on HC, and apparently other users have been having the same problem.Дoes anyone have any first-hand experience of this? Ive been trying for over 2 hours to load one simple sound bank, and Ive tried several different. wav files off the net, but I cant get the friggin thing to load. I figured if I didnt like it, I could sell it for atleast what I paid for it (checking ebay and other local sources, they're atleast the double).ДЄnyway.Ive been trying to program some sounds of my own from scratch, but never got really satisfied, so I decided to try and load the original sound bank to get some kind of reference. Sorry to have to write this, but Ive been through the net and this very forum in search of answers, but to no avail.ДЄs some of you might have ready already, I managed to pick up a Korg Poly 800 for a mere $40.
