Hi Poly fans,

I need a little help to confirm that the joystick code I've written is
working correctly. Since I don't have a working original Poly 800, I
need to understand the pitch bend range.

The pitch bend range I've implemented in my new joystick bend code is
between 7 and 8 semitones up or down. This means that on a Poly 800
with the bend pot at maximum, I am able to bend C up to somewhere
between G and A and I am able to bend down C down to just slightly
below F.

I need to know if that is how the original Poly 800 bends.

Can someone help me confirm this? It would be very much appreciated.

Regardless, the original pitch bend joystick function is almost (or is
exactly) as the original Poly 800 was. Next I move on to the VCF MG
and DCO MG (Y joystick) functions.

Once those are as close to the original as possible, I will move onto
new joystick controllers. Woohoo!

Mike.
