Hi!
 
I was astonished too by your mp3. I love to disguise the Poly 800's often "too characteristic" soundmark by turning off the chorus, for example. Congrats!

Exactly- which is why an accent feature would be the icing on the cake for me :D

Incidentally, I did manage to come quite close to this sound with my unmodded Poly-800 some years ago (the example was an EX-800).

I'll upload another example file :D
