Subject: Re: [PolySix] Re: Desperately seeking the patch manual

Hi,

I think, Erik means the factory setting manual. I have a copy of an
original Korg manual called "Setting Charts". It consists of the
patch charts of two sets of sounds (2x32); the factory presets which
also are on the patch tape ("Memory Cassette") which was supplied with
Polysix. I have got the factory sounds also in ASCII text format,
which can be loaded into Polysix via my MIDI kit.
Maybe there is some genius windows programmer who can make a program
that is able to print true Polysix patch charts from raw patch data?
