Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

While I do miss having the velocity stuff, I always seem to come back 
to the Poly 800 for sounds that I just can't get anywhere else.

And I've synced it to all my other keyboards and my drum machines.

But, one of the cooler things I did, a while ago, was trigger it with 
my DrumKat (MIDI drum pads with kick pedal type thing).  What was 
cool is that I was triggering both my drum machine AND the poly 800 
with it, so that each drum sound had a note from the Poly layered on 
top of it.  Sounded pretty cool!!

I've also synced the Poly's clock to my Korg D8 recorder.  Also cool 
because you can program a sequence, record it, then program a 
different sequence, and record it IN SYNC with the first one.

Probably no big deal to most MIDI buffs, but I had fun anyway.
