Then, you should check out the MIDI implementation chart that's on the website.

I have implemented MIDI CC's that are both NRPN as well as some dedicated ones for parameter editing so it is much easier to edit patches via MIDI CC's than you would imagine.

Poly-800 versions have a chorus built in. And the MK2 has a great efx built in.

There's no ring modulation in the Poly but the FM-800 mod does give the Poly wonderful new sounds that are quite unique.

i think ALL midi cc's implemented would be very very good.
if all poly/ex params can be addressed by midi cc, it's
so much easier in most applications than nrpns and sysex.
the ex800's main drawback is that in a studio situation,
you need to tweak a sound fast; it isnt just about realtime
modulation. so you tend to find some patches and not start creating a new patch on that instrument. as i rememeber; it's been a
while.

this will really bring this thing into the realms of juno
replacement. (does it have a chorus yet?)
it also seems like ringmod is maybe going on in those roland
synths; it was the only way i could get a juno sound out of a
jp8000 when i demo'ed it.

like the sound of midiclock out on the sequencer; this sounds
a lot like the akai me20a arpeggiator, and it produced some nice
effects; to implement that fully, it would be very cool to have
an analogue control over velocity output. think sweeping dramatic
arpeggios!!! ! well worth considering, and mabe not too hard to implement.(? ) AD to velocity value>midi out?
