Subject: RE: [korgpolyex] Korg Ex-800 not producing sound

From: "JOSHUA REYNOLDS" <josh_reynolds99@...>
Date: 2005-01-31

Sounds similar to what happens when my Poly 800 dumps its memory.  Certainly, try reloading the factory patches and see if that works. I think you can download the patches from the forum site, otherwise let me know and I'll email you an MP3.
