I had one, bought new when it came out. My first synth. Had it for some years, kind of started to hate it. Sold it and to be honest - I still don´t miss it and no regrets. Bah, shitty thing. One filter, never again.
Is there any way to control the speed of the VCF? Im curious because I just picked up one of these and am about to use it in the studio. I love some of the almost arpeggiator type things you can do with the VCF but the speeds varie from program to program. Can anyone help me out here?
can someone help me backup my poly800 II?... I tried with the tape recorder but its not very reliable (Cant get the verification to run ok).. does someone has a tutorial on how to send the sysex command to the poly so it dumps the midi data? I cant get it to work :(
@synthmx you need a computer, download a sysex manager (syx95 or 97 will do the job) search for poly 800 factory syx files, connect your synth midi in on to the computer (interface) midi out, load the factory files, sent and ready to go!! goodluck
i have this keyboard and modded it, it sounds just plain silly. the analog filter is the only good thing going for it. theres a handful of sweet sounds, but 90% is horse shit
My Mum and Dad gave mine away to my cousin because I was storing it in the attic....he was unemployed for a year and I asked him what he was doing in that time and he said `I was reading the instruction book.'
does the square wave have pulse width modulation??

It does a good at job at emulation percussion too. Like horse treds.

It's actually pretty impressive how it could shape itself to sound like trumpets or strings like in this video.

I have one! Don't know how to use it though!

I literally gave mine away. I do miss it, but the man who received it later became a synth nut because of it...and is now touring in Germany.

Y'see? Now, this is the kind of demo you make if you want to get people interested in the machine. Well done.

That's beautiful. I've been searching for PBS 80s incidental music in a box. This might be it.

And to think that I SOLD one, and the one with the reversed colour keys!!!!!! I must have been crazy!!!!
Mind you, I sold it to a person who now does synth demos around the world!!! So there you go...
Maybe I'll get one again one day!!!!!
I kind of miss it - small and beautiful!
