Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Well, the answer is simple. To my knowledge all Poly-800 (and the
EX-800) do not support any single parameter control via MIDI. So it
is not *possible* to do things like moving a slider on the PC and the
corresponding sound parameter changes.
Why? The Poly 800 (MK I) was the FIRST Korg synthesizer that had MIDI.
I dont think that they even thought about this in those days. They did
not even include such a basic command as MIDI Volume!
