Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Hi all,

I've been experiencing some troubles trying to use the .wav and .mp3 
files over the net to load the factory default presets on the poly. I 
can hear even the sound disturbances due to the cassette rotation!

I had to use a lot of compression on the sound and even had to tweak the 
pitch to be able to load them. Once loaded, to prevent similar future 
problems, I've resaved the presets again. But, this time, instead of a 
cassette, the poly was connected to a professional sound card. Now, I 
have a crisp clean recording, with no sound and pitch disturbances, no 
hiss, no nothing, 16 bits, 44khz. Comparing the old and new files in any 
sound editor is scary. Now it loads in my poly with no problems. If this 
could be useful to anyone, I would be happy to upload to the files 
section on yahoo. I have some other presets that came with a magazine 
some years ago, too.

Those files can be used on a MiniDisc, DAT, any type of portable music 
player of your choice or your computer. My Poly loves the MiniDisc 
option for sure :)

Btw, I'm very happy today, because yesterday I was able to fix my 
Poly-800's Midi Input :) Needed a few travels to the local electronics 
shop, but it's been worth the time.

Manu

congratulations!@!@

there is a .wav file in the group file lists to allow the factory  
defaults to load

best regards,

Yeah, but it gave me problems too :?

Hi

I always have problem to load the factory patches, the process end with 
an error message.  I will be happy to try both of your .wav files.  Can 
you send it to me directly to my email adress, because I think the 
files sections is full.
Thanks 
Bernard

Sure :)

Hi,

I'd be very happy if you could send me a copy as well.

Thanks

You can all grab a free working copy of new patches from the mp3 file
at the bottom of my Moog Slayer mod page:

Hi Chris,

> You can all grab a free working copy of new patches from the mp3 file
> at the bottom of my Moog Slayer mod page:

I'm not sure about what to think about this. The page says there are 64 
new presets plus a new sequencer demo, but I can only load about half of 
it, and the sequencer still contains the same it contained before 
loading the recording. To add mystery, looks like the magazine presets I 
already have are just those, but as with this mp3, mine doesn't have 64 
presets.

Opening this mp3 in a sound editor shows that there are two recordings 
in the file, but both load the same presets. Am i wrong? Anyone can load 
64 patches from this file?

I'm very intrigued.

Btw, this recording was a bit difficult to load in my Poly. I needed to 
edit it and make some tricks to be able to load it :)
