Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] AC Adaptor question....

Hi Shep,

When I bought my used Poly 800 it had no power supply so I went to RadioShack and got a replacement.  The guy there helped me and what I ended up getting was rated at 9V and 800mA.  He said he wasn't sure what the amperage requirement was so he guessed something in the middle.  Based on Gordon's recommendation of "at least 700mA" I'd say I got a pretty good replacement.  It was a little under $20.

Like you I would also be extremely grateful if any other users would be willing to share patch parameters for patches they've created and like.  My Poly 800 apparently had had the dreaded patch dump occur because when I got it all of the parameters were seemingly filled with random data.  I've used the resources on the yahoogroups site to find the factory preset parameters and have grudgingly typed in about half a dozen of the interesting looking voices' data, but if anyone can share some cool non-factory sounds (by sharing the parameter values) that would help me out a lot.

Subject: [korgpolyex] AC Adaptor question....

Hi everyone,

I know that this question has been asked a million times before, but my Poly-800 has no AC adaptor, and the cost of keeping batteries in it is killing me (plus, I'm re-loading patches a lot).

I tried a universal adaptor, but got no joy. Is there a Korg adaptor that I can buy today which will work, or can anyone suggest an adaptor from some other device which has worked for them

Also, aside from the .aif and .wav files on the internet that have the factory preset patch data, do any users out there have interesting patches of their own as sound files that they'd be willing to share?

Thanks... I'm trying to get my faithful old Poly-800 up and running so I can get it rocking alongside my wavestation.

Thanks all,
Shep
