Atom,

thanks for doing that. It reads very well and not too crass commercial.

Mike.

Atom, i have just finished the 2 knob cut off and res mod but want to carry out the fm mod
and put audio in jack on the back panel. I have seen poly's with it but no real picture docs and
diagrams. I like the idea of the switches i have seen on some with the 12/24db slope.
Can you send us any info on how to...
Thanks for giving us the original mods by the way.
Its much appreciated.
Mark

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

i haven't done the input & filter switch mods, myself. i may do them when
i upgrade to the aTomaHawk-800.

i think if you search the archives and/or the files in the group, you'll
find what you're looking for.

Hi Freq Spec,
I uploaded a zipped .rtf file that has the FM-800 mod schematic and
some detailed pics that Atom had on his site. Thanks to Atom for this
and I hope you don't mind my using the content from your site...

As for the VCF input jack does anyone have good info for this? I know
where the connections are but it would be much better to have a
detailed guide. The last thing anyone needs is to mess up this great
sounding synth. Please remember we are not responsible if anything
goes awry. Be very careful soldering and double check all connections
before powering up your Poly.
Enjoy, Fran
