I have three poly 800 and programed them with different sounds. So where can we upload the .wav format ive converted them to so you can use the tape in for the wave in and blast for vers one poly 800 patches. Id like to share and so would others id think. Ive owned moogs and oberheims etc. SO the sounds I have are ok if you like analogs.I collect junos to////

Actually, they don't lose their patches when the plug is pulled. You have to keep a bunch of dry cells in them so the patches arent lost. I have one of these. I only change the batteries with the adapter plugged in!

Many of the oldest Poly 800s don't even have internal batteries...they
will have an ouitline on the pcb where one should go, but not actually
have one. If thats the case, or if your battery is just dead, you will
lose your patches every time you pull the power plug. If there were
patches in there before that sounded 'programed', yet the power cord
was often pulled out, then you probably just reset it all by doing the
mod. I added a battery to mine at the same time as the mod, but before
then had to always keep it plugged in :((
