Hiya Kaden,
Perhaps instead of the Poly800 as a keytar controller maybe buy a Korg 707 which are very cheap and have decent midi,they are FM not analogue but if you just want a midi controller you can strap on perhaps a good solution and they are a lot lighter than a poly800. Anyway you don't want to risk breaking your poly800.My 707 cost me £60 last month on ebay.

I just bought a Korg Poly 800 mk1... I would like to use it as a midi keytar controller for my other synths, but it is lacking in the midi department. Are there any smart technicians out there who could come up with a physical button/switch modification that could turn on and off receiving and transmitting midi? I'd be interesting in hearing any ideas you might have.
