Alex,

I wish I was less engineer and more musician!

Standby for my comments on your "feature request".

Standing (or rather sitting) by as I type.
Those speech marks look ominous, though...

Hi!
 
I was astonished too by your mp3. I love 
to disguise the Poly 800's often "too characteristic" soundmark by turning off 
the chorus, for example. Congrats!
 
Dave

  beyond a basic 303 sound.

Exactly- which is why an accent feature would 
  be the icing on the cake for me :D

Incidentally, I did manage to come 
  quite close to this sound with my unmodded Poly-800 some years ago (the 
  example was an EX-800).

I'll upload another example file 
  :D
