Subject: [korgpolyex] new Poly 800, problems..

I just got my Poly 800 mk1 in the mail today. I got it off ebay so i
guess i should've expected problems. I set it up with a 9v power
supply i had lying around(same - and +). Anyways i powered it up,
turned all the tape stuff off everything worked fine i can switch
pathces edit params and whatnot, BUT. I plugged it into my guitar amp
(all i have at moment) and the volume was at full and on ANY of the
presets i get either a sweeping filtery noise(very low volume on
this) or on some patches if i move the joystick down i get a weird
wobbly sound that's pretty loud.so i figure that the problemn isn't
my pwoer supply or my outputs, but what is it?

Wow, both of you guys were right. I started tweaking things and
noticed that i was able to make some pretty eery pads. Also i think
Dan was right about the amp, it is ALOT louder through my computer or
headphones. So either way this is working out. Now..where do i get
batteries(what kind), cause i know one day i'm going to accidentally
unplug this thing.

thanks guys
