Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I just got a Korg Poly 800 today (without the manual) and I'm having 
to manually put in all of the factory patches because I screwed it 
all up without learning about it. 
Has anyone ever had to do this? If so, how do you save the presets 
so that they stay??
Everytime I program it, it will work for a little bit but as soon as 
I go onto the next Program Number, the presets are gone from the one 
I just did...? PLEASE HELP!!!

You can download the factory patches from this site.  It's a wav 
file.  In order to load the bank in your Poly 800, you'll have to 
transfert the data with an audio jack (1/8)connect from an audio 
source (walkman, computer audio out) to the cassette connection 
located at the rear of the keyboard.  You have to put the little 
button to the enable position and send the audio signal (kind of a 
fax tone).  Don't worry, it's not workimg very efficiently, you'll 
have a lot of error message, it' because you have to set the level 
proprely.  A couple of try and you'll succeed.

It's because yo have to store your patches.  When you programm a 
sound, you have to put the little button at the rear of the keyboard 
(the one for the program) at the enable position, then you press the 
store button and enter the number of the patch, and go back to the 
rear and put the program button to the disable position.

Voilà!  Have fun.

Thank you for your response... I don't have a "Store" button 
anywhere on my keyboard though? I have a red button that 
says "Write" and then next to the numbers where you put in the 
program number there are little white words the 
say "save," "load," "verify," & "cancel" but I cant figure out how 
to select those??

Yes!  You are right, I mean the red button that say write.  So you 
put the program button at the rear to enable position and push 
write, then you'll see two dash sign, that means you have to enter 
the number of the patch you want to store.
The words save, load, cancel and verify are for the cassette 
loading.  Again, you put the tape rear button to enable position.  
Then you push the load, start the tape and wait for a message, wich 
can be Err or Good. 
Good luck.
