Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

i just scored the rack mount for $65.00 but i cant for the life of me 
get any sound out of it- i'm trying to control the synth with an 
oxygen8 running into into protools on a powerbook i guess im pretty 
slow but i cant figure it out-any help would be greatly appreciated-
thanks in advance. regards,brendan

Obviously first take a midi cord directly from a keyboard and into EX 
and see if it plays.  If not then your prob IS EX.  Do you hear 
wooshing sound.  If so, it means you will soon be visited by aliens 
and taken away to their planet.  No it would mean you need to reload 
sounds, which is no big deal, unless of course you have no sounds.  
In that case , get into your nearest time machine and go back to 1985 
and...........

Classic Korg, when the Internal Battery DIES...!!!...they jujst dont last more than
5 years, or so..... I doubt very much the machine is broken, just brain-dead  !!!!
So, I have to assume when the unit is plugged into the Wall Power, you get a
proper Display ....all the lights lit, and it seems to accept your commands....?
If so, then notice my programming chart attatchment, and set in some values
for something really simple, like just a single tone....no frills ! Like a Flute...
So now to trigger the thing via Midi....for that I would not rely on your Computer
program to do so....too many layers to foul things up, esp. since we are trying
to establish just the basics, NO FRILLs ( flashback to Dennis Miller saying 
"ok !!???? binky !!??!?? )   :)
 
With a Midi-capable Keyboard that transmits on a known channel...or better yet
on ALL channels.....you can see if any progress is being made, as you attempt
to re-program the Korg into some kind of submission ! Eventually, if the Korg is
any good at all, you will have success in getting it to trigger off the keyboard
with some reasonable sound....
Anyway..........luck and skill run hand-in-hand with these little Beasties !!
