Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a Poly-800 II manual? If so does
anyone have a PDF copy?

I just picked up one that needs some work but I was able to get a
really good bank of sounds from it using a combination of Midiquest
9.1 and Midi-Ox so I have the sysex. I can load the factory presets
and 2 or 3 other banks I found using Midi-Ox. The synth sends
everything at once but my Midiman USB was up to the task. The other
question I have is it sends random breath controller and modulation
messages every 5 to 15 seconds. Is this normal? The values are 0 but
it constantly sends them unless doing a sysex transfer. Also
Midiquest will not let me edit the banks because the parameters are
the same for every patch. Even though if I load the bank back in all
the sounds are right. Weird!!! I e-mailed the MQ support guru on
this. Does this mean there isn't an editor for this great synth?????

Stay tuned I have to go to the hospital to see my new grandson!

Thanks for any insight, Narfman
