Holy moly! My bad, I meant to say 600mA. But you're right that 1Amp is really the right size for it. Mike ________________________________

I've been using a radio Shack 300mA supply on my korg for the last year without any problems. But I would agree that having at least 500mA would be preferrable. there are 1A 9v adapters on ebay everyday for about 5 dollars shipped...

So 300ma is good? I saw 800 there as well. Also the adapters at radio shack have adjustable tips. Which on do I need? I'd prefer not to schlep the Korg there. Thanks again. This is a helpful group! --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, "bimmerfan222" <bperkins211@...> wrote:

I\u2019ve been using 300ma for years. No problem. The only thing that is really critical is that it has to have the center pin NEGATIVE. This is backwards from most AC adapters, but fairly normal for a lot of Korg and Roland products. The size is hard to measure but I believe it is a standard 5.5mm outside, 2.5mm inside diameter.

I would advise against using any power supply that has removable tips enabling reversal of the polarity. This is a disaster waiting to happen. 1 split second of absent mindedness will fry components inside your Poly. You might decide to test something else and swap polarity and then forget to change it back again. Just search on ebay for Roland TR-606 power supply and see what you can find. Something with a permanently set polarity is safer. Stick a label with Poly-800 only written on it to the power supply if you must. These power supplies are usually all switched mode ones of at least 500ma. Remember CENTRE/CENTER NEGATIVE. ________________________________ From: backshall1 <backshall1@...> To: korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, 5 October 2012, 2:06 Subject: RE: [korgpolyex] Re: New Power Adaptor for Poly 800 and question about multi mods (Hawk) I’ve been using 300ma for years.

hello! OH MY GOD! I so hope you didn't listen to ANY of these replies that suggested 1000 MA, or 650 MA, or 600MA, or anything over 300 MilliAmps. from the Korg website: *9 VOLT 300 Milliamps* Part/Model number: KAC9500 center plug is 2,1 mm. outer ring of PSU connector is "+" positive. center tip of PSU connector is "-" negative. , thats what all the Poly800 eletronics are rated for, what comes with Poly800 from the factory, thats what the manual says to use, and the KORG website.. You will damage your little plastic Poly800 seriously if you go above 300MA, maybe not immediately, but it will be all about melted plastic and burning caps and resistors and PCBs,,, LOL!!! those had to be a joke right? whatever... I hope you didn't melt your KORG... I just bought this adaptor on eBay for 8.50 USD, and there are lots more! hope I wasn't too late for you! --- On Tue, 2/10/12, bimmerfan222 <bperkins211@gmail.com> wrote: From: bimmerfan222 <bperkins211@...> Subject: [korgpolyex] Re: New Power Adaptor for Poly 800 and question about multi mods (Hawk) To: korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, 2 October, 2012, 23:51 I've been using a radio Shack 300mA supply on my korg for the last year without any problems.

This is a good question... I agree with using the stock 300ma psu for a stock Poly. What kind of power does the Atomahawk need? Any ideas Mike? Jill Saphic <jill_saphic@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

What would damage it is having an adapter rated for LESS than 300mA, not more. You can use an adapter rated for more Amps and the Poly800 will only draw what it needs - and will be fine doing it. 300mA is a MINIMUM. Sent from my iPhone

The current doesn't matter as long at the power supply provides at least as much as the device needs. Device destruction occurs when the voltage doesn't match. VOLTAGE MUST MATCH. The device will draw only as much current as it needs. The power supply will not 'force' extra current into it. Current is just potential. How much electric force is potentially available. A 300mA device can use a 1000mA power supply. Less than 300mA may just do nothing, or it may damage the device on rare occasions in particular types of circuits, which are not found in synthesizers. More current available does not mean it will harm the device. I am not going to make claims about anyone else's education in particular, but basic electric theory appears not to be some people's strong suit. --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, Jill Saphic <jill_saphic@...> wrote:

Correct. The current rating of power supplies is the maximum current that the unit can supply to the load. If the load is only 2 milliamps then the load will only "pull" or "draw" 2 milliamps and it doesn't matter what the current rating of the power supply is, it won't supply more than is drawn. ________________________________ From: KurtF <darkside@...> To: korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2012 9:46 AM Subject: [korgpolyex] Re: New Power Adaptor for Poly 800 and question about multi mods (Hawk) The current doesn't matter as long at the power supply provides at least as much as the device needs.

300mA is not really enough to run even a stock Poly 800. I know it says
that in the manual, but in practice it's better to use something a bit
heavier.

Somehow, nobody seems to have pointed out the major differences between a modern-day regulated switching supply and an old fashioned large transformer type adapter. The old transformer type adapters are non-regulated, and the voltage varies with the current that is being used. If it is rated for 9VDC at 300ma, it probably measures 12-13 volts when nothing is plugged into it. The voltage will drop as you draw more current, and if your equipment really needs more than 300ma then the voltage will drop below 9 volts. A large transformer type adapter that is rated for 1000ma might measure as high as 20V with no load on it, and only drop to 15 volts with only a 300ma load on it. That might put a bit too much stress on the 9v to 5v regulator circuit inside the Poly-800. On the other hand, if you are using a newer switching-type adapter, it is probably much smaller since it does not need a big transformer in it, and it will put out a regulated 9V at any current level from 0-1000ma, so there is no problem using one rated for 1000ma. A/C adapters rarely have markings on them to show whether they are switching supplies or not. You can usually tell from the size. If not, just check the voltage output with nothing plugged into it. If it is 11 volts or higher, it is an old transformer type. If it is above 15 volts, then you may be shortening the life of some of the power transistors in the 5V regulator in the Poly-800.

An unregulated supply typically puts out \u221a2Vnominal so for a 9V unregulated supply you'd expect to see about 12.7V offload, regardless of the output current. > On the other hand, if you are using a newer switching-type adapter, it > is probably much smaller since it does not need a big transformer in it, > and it will put out a regulated 9V at any current level from 0-1000ma, The output is generally electrically quieter, too, although they can crowbar some nasty noise onto the mains supply.

Mmm, not quite. An unregulated supply typically puts out √2Vnominal so
for a 9V unregulated supply you'd expect to see about 12.7V offload,
regardless of the output current.

Yes, 12.7V would be nominal for a properly designed adapter. Maybe the wide range of voltages I\u2019ve seen coming from these things is their way to compensate for poorly designed, poorly manufactured cheap transformers they put in these things? The 5V regulator in the Poly-800 doesn\u2019t seem to have any trouble filtering the noise from a cheap switching adapter, but I suppose you would want to keep the adapter far away from something like a wireless mike receiver.

FIZMO is not like Proteus at all. Proteus type are ROMplers and very good ones. I have a Proteus 2000 with additional ROM chips for more sounds. FIZMO is a transwave synthesizer that blends together different sections of base sound waves into new morphing combinations. It's sort of the difference between playing a recording of a violin and playing a violin. Except FIZMO isn't good for violins, while the Proteus is. If I'm explaining that clearly enough. Or maybe closer, Proteus is like playing a recording of a cat, while FIZMO is like playing a cat.
