Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] MK2 bend and sequencer MIDI transmit

My Poly800 MK1 definitelysends MIDI out from the sequencer - darn handy it is too!

Cheers,

LOL - very droll indeed.

It seems very strange indeed that the MK2 would slide a full octave
down when the same circuitry is used for bend in the MK1 and the
EX800. And since I don't have a MK2, I can't play around with it to
see how it works differently.

The main thing is that I needed to make sure that my bend code that I
needed to write for the Poly 800 works as the original does. And it
does, so we're in good shape there.

Although reading through the MK2 service manual I realize that I have
one feature still to go to finish the complete integration of
everything that the Poly 800 does into my kit that was based on the
EX800. That missed feature is the sequencer sending MIDI TX on channel
2. The EX800 doesn't send MIDI from it's sequencer but I think the
Poly 800 does. So I have to implement that.
