Hey,

I bought a Korg EX-800 off of Ebay a few years back. When I first
got it, I tried it out and couldn't get it to produce sound. The
person I bought it off of wouldn't take responsibility, so I kind of
just put it off to the side and slowely forgot about it over the
years. Finally just recently I re-discovered it and decided to try
it out. When I MIDI up the EX-800 to my Juno 106 the only sound I
get out of the Ex-800 is an annoying hissing sound and a faint tone.
I went thru all the programs and adjusted all the parameters, but
with everything I tried all I got was the hiss and the same tone.
Except for a few programs that made more of a white noise, swooshing
sound rather than the annoying hiss. That was the only real sound I
could get out of it.

I'm wondering if anyone has any sort of advice for me? Has anyone
heard of this problem with the Ex-800 before? Do you think that I
just need to reload the factory tape inorder to get the sounds back?

Does anyone have the EX-800 tape that they could make a copy of for
me?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks alot!

Joel
