Cool! Side by side should make a subtle chorus effect....

I'd like to hear from the guy who complained about the lag and claims it makes it 'unusable' as to what he's doing that this lag really makes a difference. I find it hard to believe that anything happening 50ms offbeat is going to be audibly noticable as off-beat.

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.
