I'm pretty sure there's a master tuning variable resistor somewhere 
inside the poly, but I can't remember which one it is, and can't really 
find it on the circuits I have.  Possibly a "VR1" or "VR2", but as I 
said, I can't find a definite answer.  If you search the archives for 
q's on poly800 mods it should come up somewhere in the discussions of 
the filter cutoff and res mods, people were wondering if there were more 
pots that could be moved to the front panel, I think there was a master 
tune and white noise, neither of which most people would find useful, 
but could probably be of interest to you.

Sorry I can't be of more help (slightly hung-over!)  ; )
