Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Hi Dave,

the Poly 800 mk 1 doesn't know sysex! It has been build when Midi was 
just a new standart..

You have to use the cassette interface:
- switch on "write enabled" and "tape interface enabled"
- the LEDs show "Tape"
- connect your soundcard's headphone with "tape interface from"
(normally it should work with "high", if not, try "low")
- touch "load" on the front panel
- play the wav file with any media player or cool edit or sth you like
- if there's the "error" message, you should reduce the volume of 
wave playback (touch "cancel" before you try next)
- if the LED's don't change (only some flickering may occur), 
increase the volume
- if you can read "good" you've won!

You may have to try many times until you've found the right 
adjustments. Try also to use different wav-files, they're recorded in 
different qualities.

Good luck!

Olaf
