I´ve also done the Mod for the Poly-800, but imo it doesn´t help much to
improve the sound. It is a nice feature to be able to increase the Reso
until the Filter roars, but to be honest: Who uses more than 50% Reso
for a -useful- sound?
Without effects it sound generally crappy, compared to other Synths of
this time. The biggest mistake of the Poly-800 was its "emulated"
sawtooth-WF and no PW/PWM-Modulation.
