Modification Pics

2001-10-12 by Olaf

Hi Korgies,

I have my Poly800 since one week and today I modified it.

Sounds great! Although I have to learn how to program the patches to 
get good knob performance.

I did not only the two knobs for filter res and freq. I added a 
switch to choose between "factory" and "modified" (2 static resistors 
are doing the job of the former VR2 and VR6 with the same values).

I also added two switches that are in parallel to the write 
enable/disable for patches and sequencer. And its worth the work!

I don't understand why Korg didn't put those switches on the front 
panel.

Has anybody else modifications, more than the filter knobs or battery 
supply?

Sweeping greetings

Olaf

Note:
Although I removed all connections and had the PCB seperated for 
soldering the wires it didn't loose patches or its sequence!
