Thanks for giving me the time to speak with you regarding our request to obtain information about the Poly 800. I also appreciate you giving me the opportunity to approach the Product Manager with my unusual request.
At this point in time, we here on the Korg Poly 800 Yahoo group have identified several modifications that we would like to include in our Poly 800's. We know that the only way to get those features is to modify the assembly code of the instrument. As a result, I have embarked on a disassembly project. Obviously, this is a major undertaking. Nevertheless, I have managed to disassemble about 20% of the code.
However, it would be a welcome gesture and enormously useful if Korg were to make available one or both of the following:
a) The commented original source code.
b) A memory map that detailed the use of RAM in the instrument.
I understand that this information is proprietary however the instrument is now 22 years old and the technology so obsolete that I hope Korg would see the benefit, particularly within the Korg enthusiast community, of releasing any information that would assist us in keeping this great antique instrument alive and gigging.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Mike.
