Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

He He... I have a lot of fun managing the 20 or so groups I take care 
of. The easiest way is set everyone to be moderated until they prove 
themselves to be worthy...

By the way congrats on all your hard work paying off!!! I almost got 
a Poly-800 last week but was sniped at the last minute. Oh well...

Fran

actually asked to join the group with a reasonable explanation as 
owning a Korg Poly 800 from years ago etc. So I let her join. I 
wonder if Brenda was real or a 'bot?

Hi Fran,

Better luck next time a Poly comes up on ebay. I am kicking myself for
not having bid on the last MK2 that came along since I now realize the
MK2's don't come along that often.

I didn't know I could add a user in moderated mode. I'll check that out.

Ever since I made the kit available it has become suddenly quiet on
this list. Great to hear from ya!

Mike.

Hey don't blame us for your kit being the most exciting thing that ever 
happened to the Poly 800.  That's your fault!  You'd better get used to 
it being the main topic of discussion around here from now on..

For those of you that have no intention of upgrading your Poly 800, it
might be worth me asking if you would prefer that I create a new list
for those who do upgrade their Poly.

So I put it out there to all of you. Would you rather that I go create
a new list or is it OK to keep the HAWK-800 and AtomaHawk-800
conversation on this list?

Mike.

I didn't bought the kit yet, but is good to know what happens with it.
So, in my opinion the modification related discussion isn't a diferents
stuff.

I don't say much here but I read every word and enjoy following the 
advances of your upgrade. Since the Poly I use belongs to my cousin and 
not me I will not upgrade it. That dosen't make it less interesting for 
me to hear about the new technology. If you split off I think you will 
just make most of us have two groups to monitor.

Mike,
Please keep us (or at least me) on the list.
I enjoy reading about the progress you have made.
I may want to upgrade my Poly soon...
Good job,
Joe

For those of you that have no intention of upgrading your Poly 800, it
might be worth me asking if you would prefer that I create a new list
for those who do upgrade their Poly.

So I put it out there to all of you. Would you rather that I go create
a new list or is it OK to keep the HAWK-800 and AtomaHawk-800
conversation on this list?

Mike.

Many of the older lists aren't very active. Unless you want to count 
the bot ridden groups. The P2k group has nearly 2000 members and not 
that much activity. You keep this group moving with many members 
waiting for the next update from your wizardry. I can rebuild synths
 in my spare time and I love writing patches but I ain't no code 
meister. How would a noobie figure out there was a HAWK-800? 
Personally I am all for these discussions. Atom pipes in and adds 
tech advice when he can. I like to collect the old docs when they 
show up on Ebay. Etc, etc...

Just hanging out here fooling with some up to 16 layer patches in a 
freshly repaired MR-Rack I picked up. The volume pot and the encoders 
were whacked bad. Not anymore! Fun to figure out this thing in 
Midiquest. I even crashed it bad enough to need a hard reset. Must be 
learning something???

I looked around for a Poly-800II but the only one I found was $279 
from MusicGoRound. Ouch!!!! Daddy's had one but it's gone.

Got any plans for an editor?  Fran

The kit is definitely on topic with the list. Don't worry ;)

BTW, I have not ordered it yet, but I'll do in the very near future. 
Thanks for your work on it.

Manu

keep it all in one place...

Not sure if I'll get one, but love to read about the goings on.
Please keep it here.

Keep it here on this list.

I think it's precisely the things that should be discussed here.

================

once the mk3 incorporates full control via CCs/NRPNs it would be 
reasonably simple to make an editor.

I will probably never upgrade my EX-800 but I like reading about all 
the modifications.  One list!
