Subject: Re: Revamping the poly 800

Type poly 800 factory patch in google, and there are sites that
have .wav files of the default patches. I never had any success back
in the day with using cassette back up, but it worked great from the
computer! I think I was just doing it wrong back then.

Last Saturday I used my Poly 800 in the studio after many years. I
wanted to use my Polymoog for the "vox humana" sound, but it's having
too many problems. So I used the Poly 800 as a substitute, and it
sounded awesome!! I used the "warm strings" patch (16, I think?) with
moog slayer filter, thru an MXR phaser and a Memory Man. It gave that
perfect Gary Numan "ooooooooooh" sound I wanted.

As far as the sequencer, I really like the sound of it synched to a
drum machine, but it's way too limited. Does anyone know a free MIDI
program I could use to do the same thing, but has more than 250 notes
and is editable?
