Re: Poly 800 Mod ++ NON DESTRUCTIVE++

2007-01-20 by Dave Bowman

Hi again,

I added a couple new pics to my photo album: http://
launch.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/korgpolyex/photos/browse/d961?c=

You'll see original VR's attached to cables for switching between 
moogslayer and factory settings.

Also, you'll find a pic with two cables soldered to filter IC (dont 
remember the name right now) for 12/24 DB fliter switching 
capabilites. Definetly worth the mod! http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/
group/korgpolyex/message/551

This is Atom's site: http://synthmod.net/korg/fm800/. Be sure to 
check the samples page, you'll find some stuff of my own AND a couple 
additional pics of my modded Poly (and other people's).

Check the moogslayer section as well http://synthmod.net/korg/
moog_slayer/

have fun,

DaVE
