Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Hello all:

I'm new to the list ( hopped over from the 'newmellotrongroup' ) 
having purchased a Poly-800 MKII recently. In reviewing the posts of 
the last while I've discovered that I've landed smack in the middle 
of a circuit bending world, of which I know little!  I just wanted a 
synth to augment my Mellotrons.

I have a simple question and I apologize for dumbing down the recent 
Moog Slayer threads.

Am I able to use the Poly-800 MKII as a midi controller to play some 
VST stuff I have on my computer?  I have an Edirol USB to Midi 
connector. If it is possible, how do I set things up?

The Moog Slayer sounds great, but a great challenge for me to install-
the eventual battery change is rocket science enough for me, but one 
can always learn...

Now back to my electro-mechanical 'trons...

Cheers, 
Dan in Toronto
