holy crap this sounds cool as heck! very commodore64-esque

did this on my poly800MK2 dont know if the other ones do it the same
but here goes:

first - crank yourself out a nice square lead patch, double DCO and
detune level 1

second - put kbd on hold mode and play all 5 'C' keys then switch to
chord memory

third - WHACK a 6 or 8 finger chord (yes both hands... as many notes
as possible... in fact it doesnt even have to be a chord just a buncha
notes) and i mean WHACK... so they ALL trigger at the same time...

the poly's slowass 1980's CPU will lag to hell and 'step' up through
the notes kinda like an arpeggiator!!!! it sounds COOL AS HELL...

the more notes, the longer lag before it sets on the highest note pressed.

just one more reason why this synth RULES!!!
