Vintage Synth Repair

There's no "midi dump receive" command on the Poly 800, you have to send the command from the computer.

I only have a german manual. does anyone have a manual for the mk2 in english? wink wink.

Fran, how do you put it in sysex receive mode my friend. Ive got the other end hooked up to my mac

and i can just dump the sysex file from logic, Im just unsure how to put the mk2 into the right mode.

Thanks all

The Poly-800 II I have does the same thing when it loses it's
patches. The battery will only hold them for so long. The good thing
about the Mk2 is you can reload it with a sysex file. The first Poly-
800's weren't so blessed. If it still won't play right after that let
me know. My Mk2 has a pot for the noise that will crank it whenever
it is needed. I also have the Mk2 Service Manual around here
somewhere in this mess.....

screwed it up by uploading a sysex form my DX7 (an accident while
digging into DX7 menus); this tells how MIDI implementation was
buggy. All the patches were gone, and it was only able to do a white
noise, no matter which patch was selected. If memory serves, I have
to issue a hard reset before being able to program any patch. Might
worse a try.
