Atom,

thanks for doing that. It reads very well and not too crass commercial.

Mike.

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

i haven't done the input & filter switch mods, myself. i may do them when 
i upgrade to the aTomaHawk-800.

i think if you search the archives and/or the files in the group, you'll 
find what you're looking for.

Hi Freq Spec,
I uploaded a zipped .rtf file that has the FM-800 mod schematic and 
some detailed pics that Atom had on his site. Thanks to Atom for this 
and I hope you don't mind my using the content from your site...

As for the VCF input jack does anyone have good info for this? I know 
where the connections are but it would be much better to have a 
detailed guide. The last thing anyone needs is to mess up this great 
sounding synth. Please remember we are not responsible if anything 
goes awry. Be very careful soldering and double check all connections 
before powering up your Poly.
Enjoy, Fran
