If you have a midi interface for your PC, or a midi cable to plug into
your soundcards joystick port, you can sequence it from the PC. The
EX-8000 actually has a trigger button on the front if it, for tuning,
but I'm not sure about the 800. If I remeber correctly though, the
EX-800s have a 256 step sequencer built in, and, if so, just press
play and start tweaking. If no sounds come out when you press play,
just start pumping all the values up, like OSC volume, and filter
cutoff....if it starts to work, then the battery is probably just dead
(or nonexistant).
