Poly 61 info?

[Theo]

Used one of these long time ago (they where hip u know).
Doe maar gebruikten ze, toonje lager, BZN (sick).

Recal that there was tape backup, factory presets came on tape.
Unless you have the tape no recall, sorry.
However I also recall the factory presets to be real shit, extreamly boaring
and an great example off crappy programing.

Well just my opinion o'cause.

Cheers Theo.

PS. fl125 is a nice price IF it has midi, first models came without.
