is it possible to change poly-800 II parameters with a midi controler?

is it possible to change poly-800 II parameters with a midi controler?

Hi, 
I'd like to control my poly-800 II with a bcr-2000.
Could someone please tell me how to program sysex in the
bcr2000 to tweak parameters of the poly 800 II in real time please?
It seems very complicated to program... I wish the korg used control changes instead of sysex!

You are out of luck with that.

The original Poly-800 had no sysex at all but does recognize pitch wheel, DCO modulation and VCF modulation controllers.

The EX-800 had the same plus a sysex bulk data dump send and receive.

The MK2 had the same as the EX-800 but modified slightly to support the extra effects parameters.

The ONLY way to get full control over all of the various parameters that most owners want is to have the HAWK-800 upgrade kit installed.

That kit gives you total control over every parameter through both sysex and MIDI controller messages.

Mike.
