Hi all,
I have not come across any noticeable lag in my use of the Hawk 800/Atomahawk equipped Poly 800 Mk1's also!
Playing it's own keyboard or triggering from my Behringer uma25s midi keyboard controller (via an edirol um2ex midi/usb interface)still gives me nothing noticeably near that sort of lag time.
Granted, I have never given the sequencer or the velocity sensitive operators a run around the block yet since it's upgrade so I can't comment if that's the culprit but I use all other functions and have not picked up any obvious lag time.
I personally think my Poly's have progressed in leaps and bounds with the upgrade kits and the only unfortunate thing is that my friends are not sythesizer inclined so I can't really recommend the product to them otherwise I would.
Keep up the good work Mike.
Tim

If the original Poly is the center of your keyboard rig, perhaps it's time you graduated to something newer. As for me, I find I have begun playing the Poly again after it sat gathering dust for many years.
