Just to be clear, that's "circuitbenders"...
They appear to have had the same issue with the rate of rotation...

This mod adds an endless rotary encoder that does the same job as the UP/DOWN data entry buttons on the front panel. Pressing the knob takes the synth into parameter edit mode, and then turning it changes the parameter value. The knob has 20 clicks per 360 degree rotation, so it takes 5 full rotations to take the value of a parameter from 0 to 99.
The only minor issue is that unlike with the Poly800 mkII version of this mod, if you turn the knob too quickly on the mkI, it does sometimes stop changing the value until to slow down the rotation a little. This is because the pulses sent to the buttons on each click start getting too short for the synth to read at very high rotation speeds. As you can see from the video below it is still perfectly usable once you have the hang of how fast to turn the thing
We have not yet tried this mod with an EX800, but we can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work fine.
