Well, start with the basics: different MIDI cable, and swap out the interface too if it's one of those cheap ones.
Disconnect all other MIDI devices, ect,
If you're on a mac, make the AMSU icon and connect the wires to the appropriate port.

What about sending from the EP-II to the Poly-800? Does that work? Just set everything to channel 1 for testing.Don B.Sent: Monday, April 27, 2015 11:25 AMSubject: [korgpolyex] Mk1: no MIDI in/receive?Hello all,My Mk1 works great for the most part, but I can't seem to convince it to receive midi.I'm connecting to my Mac through an Echo Audiofire 12, and I can use it as a controller, i.e. it will send midi, but it won't respond to midi coming from the computer.I have successfully hooked up another keyboard (a roland ep-II) and been able to send and receive midi, so I9;m pretty sure the problem is in the Poly.I've got the manual and tried playing with the midi receive channel parameters, but to no avail.Any ideas? Guess I should open it up and check for loose connections.I'm ready to dive in and order the Hawk-800, but wanted to get this sorted first.Thanks!-Stu
