Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

hello,

I'm a new member to this group, but I have owned my Poly-800 since 1994.  I
really like this synth and it has never given me any problems.  I recently
bought a Poly-800II (decided to upgrade to the Digital Delay) so I've been
copying patches that I use in my band from one synth to the other.  I found
that the same parameter settings don't sound the same on both synths.  Is
there a way to fix this, perhaps by adjusting the internal trim pots?  I've
also heard about the filter mod, but that only converts 2 trim pots to
knobs (cutoff and resonance).  Does anyone know what the other trim pots
control?  There are 10 or 15 trim pots in my Poly-800II, so I'm wondering
if anyone ever found out what they all do and if they are worth being
replaced with knobs.  

thank you,

lenny g

I know that on the original Poly800, one pot controls the noise 
level, another the pitch, and i found another than sort of did a 
weird gain/filter/pitch thing, but I didn't see much need in 
tampering with those...

btw, I would love to find a way to perhapse do an audio imput to 
the filter section or maybe some other funky mods.. anyone do 
other things to the 800?

thanks
