Yes, I noticed (almost) the same thing, on the
"standard" (100k) mod. I did the mod, and I hear a
noticeble cutoff when I twist the knob, but I'm not
sure about the resonance (although my friend I have
the studio with assures me HE CAN hear it :), I
wouldn't put my hand in the fire claiming I hear the
difference). Also, guys, i have 2 q's, I just
downloaded the definitions for the poly 800 (from the
website) for sound quest's Midi Quest program. Since I
know the poly 800 is quite limited in midi, it seemed
pretty strange to me, that they support it. I never
got this program to edit anything on any synth,
though, so I'm not sure it EVEN works at all. Then, I
have made the "standard" mod with some cheap, plastic
pots. I just couldn't buy metal ones, there weren't
any at the moment. Is that very bad? I mean, if i ever
decide to do the slayer moog mod with the 100k, should
I wait 'till I find some metal ones? And third,
although probably a stupid question. I have a DW 8000,
also, and I don't use the two synths (yet!) 'cause of
bed power circuits in the building the studio is right
now. We're moving for ages now, but in a couple of
weeks we should finnaly leave Hell and find a new
place where we can (at least) plug all the equipment
in. So, the question would be, what is the difference
(in the use) between these two synths? I found on some
web sites that if you have a DW8000, you don't really
need a Poly800 because it's basically the same thing
only bigger and with more possibilites. Is it? I won't
be selling any equipment, only buying new stuff, but I
tried some different sysex for the DW8000 and it seems
really nice, still haven't tried tape dump with the
Poly800, hope to find some nice presets there too. And
then I will probably start programing them myself....
