Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

OK Poly fans,

the time has come to dip our toes back into the online ordering waters.

I've set up myself up with a premium paypal account and have tinkered
with the Buy It Now buttons and I believe that you should be able to
order the kit that you need for your Poly 800 Mk1 or EX 800
synthesizer module.

At this point, if there are a couple of very keen buyers out there,
then I would appreciate it you could put your hand up and I can sell
the first three units that I have. If you order today, the kit still
won't ship out until I take delivery of some of the IC sockets that
were delayed.

But I would still appreciate three of you having a go at ordering
because I want to make sure that everything works as it should.

For shipping rates I have $10 within the US and $25 outside. I am
hoping I can reduce the $25 a bit but this is all new to me so I am
going to play it as it comes to a degree. I am hoping that after you
put your order in I can then edit the order so that you can be charged
just what it takes to get the insured kit to you. I am just not sure
exactly how that all works yet.

Anyway, which three of you would like to order first?

Hi,
I would like to buy one (of the first) as well. So, I should to start to
deal with PayPal, how it works...,

I have 2 Poly800 MK1 - do you recommend to equip both with your pack ? I
red something about linking 2 Polys together, but does it work "just" via
MIDI interface, or did you discover/develope some kind of "system bus
interface" ?

What about adres and other info ?

I don't klnow if this subject has come up yet. If
shipping from U.S. to say, UK, ho0w do you envisage
the import tax aspect?

(and, a "venture capitalist" such as yourself is not
exactly the same as a corporate company who aims to
colonise the world and enslave the people)
