Howdy :)
No, the Program write switch is set to 'Enable' as is the
Sequencer - well, I have tried with the sequencer switch enables &
Disabled.
The patches are for the Mk II not the Mk1, I downloaded them from
here :
http://members.bluefrognet.net/~rlsnuffy/poly800/Yup, the Midi out cable is in 'In, and vice versa.
What utility do I set up for different device numbers ? The SysEx ?
I can't think of anything else either. I keep trying different
ways, different Sys progs, butstill can't seem to get it !
Not sure if it is my soundcard/midi cable that the synth doesn't
like or what...I had no trouble using them with the D5 though.
New soundcard this weekend hopefully - either the new soundblaster
Audigy 2 EX platinum, or the Terratec DMX 6Fire. I am also going to
buy a lead that will go from Audio out on the soundcard to the 3.5
tape jack on the synth to try using the Wav method of restoring the
sounds. This might just sort the problem out.
If not....looks like I might put the bloody thing up on ebay and get
my life back lol Done nothing else after work all week apart from
searching the t'internet for help for the Poly !!!
Cheers
Kenny
