Korg Poly 800 Patches
Korg Poly-800 II (1985) poly-synthesizer updated version with digital delay: 49 keys: 8 voices based on DCO oscillators with lowpass filter and sequencer. The Korg Poly-800 came out 1984 and is an i. The professional 'POLY-800 - CLASSIC ANALOG' patch bank from AnalogAudio1 includes 64.
Sorry to have to write this, but Ive been through the net and this very forum in search of answers, but to no avail. As some of you might have ready already, I managed to pick up a Korg Poly 800 for a mere $40. I figured if I didnt like it, I could sell it for atleast what I paid for it (checking ebay and other local sources, they're atleast the double). Anyway.Ive been trying to program some sounds of my own from scratch, but never got really satisfied, so I decided to try and load the original sound bank to get some kind of reference. So I downloaded some.wav files off the net, but I cant get the friggin thing to load.
I checked with the user reviews here on HC, and apparently other users have been having the same problem. Does anyone have any first-hand experience of this?
Ive been trying for over 2 hours to load one simple sound bank, and Ive tried several different.wav files too, just in case.and different sound banks (from original to personal custom ones).nuffin.whats up with that? Even if the lithium (?) battery is old, then it should be able to save and load sound banks in mem as long as the power is on, right? Anyone got any bright ideas?
Or been through this as well? /Ricky Reject. I don't know how you'd expect to load synth parameters from a.wav file. Back when you could load and save sounds via cassette, preferably using data (no leader) rather than audio cassettes. It is ok to use audio cassettes but move past the leader first. Hmm ok I guess the.wav file is presumably duplicating the blips on a data cassette. Oh My Friend Background Music Free Download.
In that case you have to use the cassette port not midi. However this synth also has midi and can be addressed from an editor.
You're better off just getting some data files and using midi. There was definitely one in Galaxy +; not sure about Sound Diver as never used it with that; would have to check but I would think it would be there. All you need is a 3/8 to 3/8 stereo cable with a 1/2 inch adapter on the end. Plug one end into your soundcard out, the other into the tape in. I dont recall the sequence to set the record. But search online for the poly 800 manual.
But all you need to do is to bring the wav up in windows sound recorder or something and then play it when you've activated the tape in sequence. It depends on what version you have.
Earlier poly 800s won't take sysex transfers But if you wanna get rid of it i'd love another one. Thanks for the respond, guys.
Plastic: Yeah, I kinda figured it could have something to do with my late 90's tape-deck actually.If nothing else, I guess I'll have to dig out an old tape-recorder at some flee-market or something. Will you believe I dont have a single one left.hmm.maybe my mothers old cyan-coloured walkman would suffice, heh.you know the ones that required 4 batteries to operate and had both a belt-clip and a shoulder-strap. As soon as I get back home to my modest home-studio, I'll try to see if it can receive sysex.Im not exactly sure what version this poly 800 is. As far as Ive read, only the later Poly 800 mkii would receive sysex.we'll see, else I'll find some old tape deck.
By the way.since I have your attention; does any of you lads know how this system stores memory/settings? I did two patches late last night and saved them to mem, but woke up this morning only to find that they're gone. I presume its your regular battery than needs a change.I hope.
Proteus: Thats not the way to get a deal.you're not supposed to tell me you want one.you're supposed to tell me its crap and that you humbly offer yourself to relieve me from the burden of owning it Not quite ready to give up on it yet though, as I only got it 2 days ago /Ricky Reject. Ricky, A while ago I myself tried loading some Poly 800 wav preset files from the web into a MkII version of the synth by connecting the audio line-out from a laptop to the tape-in on the synth. It didn't work. Whether this was because the source wavs were no good, or some other reason, I don't know. I also tried loading some sysex patch files from the web directly over MIDI.
