Hi people, the subject of my first message is simpole: I bought back my very fist synth ever. IAnd yes is a Poly-800 Mk1 Does it support any kind of bank data-or-dump from Cubase sx or any other proggy (Midi Quest, Sounddiver etc)??? I would like to be able to load banks from p800 to my pc (xp) and viceversa... cheers

Hi there, The Poly 800 does not do ANY SYSEX at all. The EX 800 does although it is a primitive dump of everything. I'm not sure about the Poly 800 MK-II. There is a mod that was detailed many years ago where you would take a copy of the EX 800 ROM and piggy back it onto the existing ROM. But it requires skill with a soldering iron. Do you have any? Mike. --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, "cristoforcolombo" <uonna@...> wrote:

Hi I did this mod and it's not that difficult. I prefer not to soldered all the pin of the IC chip, as mention in the article. I found that the chip sit well in place even if I don't soldered it. I think it's not a bad idea because soldered a chip is a bit risky. I bought the chip at Ebay for less than $10 and the seller even burn the chip for me. I just send the files to the seller and voilà. I think it worth the trouble because load your patches via the cassette thing is a real pain. Thank you and good luck --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, "korgpolyex800" <korgpolyex800@...> wrote:

Thanks Mike yes I do have "soldering" skills but dunno how to find the ex-800 stuff... Exept for this solution all I can do each time I need to dump patches is to load via tape-wav-mp3 method...isnt' it? anyway thank you for you precious help --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, "korgpolyex800" <korgpolyex800@...> wrote:

Take a look here http://analog.no/mods/korg_poly-800_mk-1_sysex.htm You can get the ex 800 firmware there, as well. For the eprom you should do a search at Ebay under the name of 2764 Eprom, I'm pretty shure you'll find something. Good luck Bernard

After you've found the chip (2764) and the firmware, you will still need to find a programmer to program the code into the chip. What part of the world are you in? I have the programmer and chips and firmware and could provide an EX800 ROM for a small charge. Mike. --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, "cristoforcolombo" <uonna@...> wrote:

Hi Poly fans, I fear we led our newcomer down the wrong path. Just poking around it looks like the MK-II does do sysex dumps. Go to our files section and fourth down on the list is datadumpreqst.syx . This is the sysex command you can use with most computer sequencer programs. Looks like you don't need to look for that ROM after all. Mike.

thank you all for helpin me. I've found on th net, on the sound quest site, a program called Midi quest that claims to be able to work with poly 800 Mk1 & 2!!! Is it that true or not ? --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, "korgpolyex800" <korgpolyex800@...> wrote:

Yes, Soundquest will be able to send note on off, program change etc to the Poly 800 MKI but it will not be able to send patches to or from the MKI. Only the EX800 and MKII can do that. --- In korgpolyex@yahoogroups.com, "cristoforcolombo" <uonna@...> wrote:
