Just a quick note. After having problems with all my Poly 800 voices
showing up, I re-uploaded the factory sounds and it's finally
working fully great!
If anyone need the factory demo data, I could possibly upload it to
this site as an aiff file. I don't think an mp3 has all the necesary
data to do the job.
Lemme know.
Cheers,
- Dana Countryman
