Re: new Poly 800, problems..

Wow, both of you guys were right. I started tweaking things and 
noticed that i was able to make some pretty eery pads. Also i think 
Dan was right about the amp, it is ALOT louder through my computer or 
headphones. So either way this is working out. Now..where do i get 
batteries(what kind), cause i know one day i'm going to accidentally 
unplug this thing.

thanks guys
