Poly 800 crtl SE-1x

Poly 800 crtl SE-1x

2010-02-17 by rbrtfls

Hi, Have alot of gear and recently got a poly 800. It works well. When I midi it to my Studio Electronics SE-1, I can only get the Poly's seq to trigger the SE-1 not the keyboard. Is this because of the early Midi?
I've midied my SE-1 w/ another of my synths and it works fine. But the Poly keyboard won't trigger the SE no matter how I hook it up. Am I missing something? (yeah the midi)I've the manual and have had it in Omni mode and user channel mode, to no avail Any input would be a great help. Thanks Bob Fales

Hi,

the Poly800`s keyboard transmits on MIDI channel 1, sequencer on Ch 2, and there`s no possibility to change (in unmodified piece). So in your case it could be set receiving Ch 2 on Studio Electronics SE-1. But you mentioned, you have tried it in Omni On mode (i suppose SE-1  ??? )...  Then I don`t know, may be wrong MIDI HW in Poly 800, or what...

Hi Bob,

The Poly-800 (MK1, MK2 and EX-800) sequencer transmits on MIDI channel 2 only.


If you upgrade to the HAWK-800 then you can set the sequencer to transmit on any MIDI channel 1-16.

Mike
