Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

I'm totally new to this burning lark,but just got a cheap eprom burner
and wondered if it is asimple as just burning the EX800 bin file that
I downloaded to a chip and popping it in the Poly 800.??
but I assume that would stop the keyboard on the Poly working??
or am I missing something?
Are you saying that this new disassembly will be able to be burnt to a
chip and will give us systex and control over the keyboard?? I'm
easily confused ;)

Rewriting the Firmware offers great possibilities only limited by the
speed of the CPU, the size of the accesible ROM (changing chip may
give more ROM, depends on the architecture if this is possible) and
the synth engine itself.

You could imagine:
(Programmable) Appregiator, several Mod-Params per patch controllable
with midi, additional soft envelopes or (Midi-syncable) LFOs for
cutoff, res. Maybe even some kind of osc modulation.

BUT:
It's an enormous effort. Don't underestimate this point. And you can't
have all without upgrading the CPU.

==================

mono mode with portamento... velocity->DCA... velocity->DCF...

MONO MODE WITH PORTAMENTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The keyboard itself is not velocity sensitive so I think that might be
out of the question.

Portamento would depend on the VCO's and the DA converter control.

Does anybody have an original schematic or service manual? I really
wish I had better quality schematics. My old eyes are having trouble
with the bad scanned copy.
