Yep, infact you likely only have to set it up for output to the Korg, I dont think the Korg talks back to Midi ox although Im sure it will. Ive hardly gotten into it the manual . Still setting up a Mirage-which is a bit of a challenge to say the least. Today Ill go by our town freebox to see if I can find something with knobs to do the Korg filter mod :)
 
I dont recall them all but there ∗are∗ some settings in midi ox that have to be applied and it took some trial and error the first time I used it with an Emu Orbit- I think "pass sysex" is the most important one but there are some buffer settings in there as well.
 
Im off work the next 3 days, Ill try and get some patches up. Im hoping to "emulate" some polysix sounds as best as the EX will do at least. I can hear it a "little" bit in the presets...a "little" --well see-
 
Have fun:)

Hi, My EX-800 Came yesterday and I had no trouble with MIDI-Ox, my usb
interface and factory sysex.

No special settings were needed. Seemed to load right up.

01-windows MIDI default is the M Audio UNO interface but when using my
Korg TR driver as default and using the UNO w my Ensoniq SQ80 theres no
trouble. Think the MIDI-Ox setting is what counts here.

02- In MIDI-Ox UNO is set for in and out with my controller added to
the in as well

03- will depend on what app your using but in MIDI-Ox you load the
sysex file and hir send.

As far as Ive seen the EX and Poly800MKII should be the same in this
regard. Good luck. Seems like a pretty good OSC/Filt combo in there.
