Hello Poly-Friends,
Some time ago I ran across a german Poly 800 modding site and
discovered a way of modding which hasn't been done before so far. The
link of the site is:
http://www.memi.com/makers/hwsw/basteln/poly800_mod.htmlon the site there are funktions of some of the VRs listed. I'll post
them here:
VR1 - DCO Pitch adjust
VR2 - VCF Frequency adjust
VR3 - White Noise level adjust
VR4 - DCO Fine tune adjust
VR5 - VCF resonance adjust
So what I did was break out the VR3 and replace it with a pot of the
same value. The value is written on the white cap of the VR. For
instance if it says "10k" there use a 10k pot. If it says "B10k" use
the same pot - just this time a logarithmical one.
It's been a while since I did this mod so I can't tell the exact
values of the VR anymore. But I guess the hints given above must be
good enough for some modding fun. The results add an interesting
bubbling substance to the reso- and cutoff-mod.
Love your machine!
