[sdiy] weird poly800...kills patches when any sequencer run

[Bob Weigel]

Thanks Dan also.  But I found the problem last night.  The 'clock' and 
other related settings there...parameters 86 and 87 or whatever all...I 
think there were three things....had corrupted data in them :-)  The 
cure involved running the data down.  It will only move down.  
Eventually you see numbers and when you get to '2' then it will go to 1 
and back to 2 if you hit up.  Once those values are loaded everthing 
works as it should it seems.

The bogus clock value was causing MIDI input to get the processor 
totally lost such that it rewrote the SRAM data!
