Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

I\ufffdve also done the Mod for the Poly-800, but imo it doesn\ufffdt help much to 
improve the sound. It is a nice feature to be able to increase the Reso 
until the Filter roars, but to be honest: Who uses more than 50% Reso 
for a -useful- sound?

Without effects it sound generally crappy, compared to other Synths of 
this time. The biggest mistake of the Poly-800 was its "emulated" 
sawtooth-WF and no PW/PWM-Modulation.
