Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

This information relates to the MK2 sysex dump but that isn't going to work or match up to the Poly-800 (PS-800) or EX-800. I shall do my best to dredge up the EX-800 sysex format this weekend.

From the Poly800 MkII manual:

2. RAM data structure.

*The RAM data portion of DATA DUMP data is organized as shown here.
DATA                  RELATIVE ADDRESS                BYTES(decimal)
----                  ----------------                --------------

MIDI CHANNEL          000H                            1
SEQ DATA              001H~3E8H                       1000
(UNDEFINED)           3E9H~3F0H                       8
CHORD MEMORY          3F1H~3F8H                       8
SEQ MODE              3F9H                            1
SEQ CKL               3FAH                            1
PROG CHANGE DIS/ENA   3FBH                            1
(UNDEFINED)           3FCH~3FFH                       4
PROG DATA             4O0H~A7FH                       1664

*Actually, when this data is transmitted on MIDI, each byte 
is split at its least 
significant four bits and sent starting from relative 
address 000H.
(UNDEFINED data does not affect internal operation; it is 
only used in the check sum.)
