Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Just a quick note. After having problems with all my Poly 800 voices 
showing up, I re-uploaded the factory sounds and it's finally 
working fully great!

If anyone need the factory demo data, I could possibly upload it to 
this site as an aiff file. I don't think an mp3 has all the necesary 
data to do the job. 

Lemme know.

Cheers,

 - Dana Countryman
