Subject: Introduction and yet another Moog Slayer Poly 800 :)

Greeting to you die hard Poly 800 fans,

Hi Mike!

I have many synths and samplers but I only recently got my Poly 800
and I haven't played with one of those since 1986!

It was a bit tatty and one key on the keyboard did't work but I fixed
that. I changed the battery - fortunately it was a late model 800.

I cleaned her up and added the infamous Moog Slayer mod to it for
knob control for VCF cut off and resonance.

For pics and sound samples head to:

As a bonus, there is a set of patches in mp3 format to download and
load into your 800. These are from a defunct UK magazine called
Electronic Soundmaker from 1985.

For more info on this magazine including a review of these patches
and to get the CD:

If you are into synths generally from this period including
Synclaviers and Fairlights you may want to check out this DVD:

Best regards

Chris
