#Korg poly 800 battery replacement modThis mod adds a switch to select either a 24dB or less drastic 12dB filter response Both parameters are still also controlled by the normal programming methods which can set the range of the knobs control.ġ2dB / 24dB Filter Response Switch: Somewhat mysteriously the filter chip used in these machines has both 12dB/Oct and 24dB/Oct outputs but only the 24dB one is actually used. The filter cutoff knob allows you to perform long filter sweeps for those squidgy burbling analogue lines that you knew your Korg was capable of but could never actually program. This can produce the kind of screaming top end and subsonic bass that gives these machines a whole new range of sonic possibilities. The resonance knob can take the resonance well into self oscillation and far beyond what is programmable from the front panel. The mods consist of 3 main sections, Filter mods, FM mods and audio mods.Ĭutoff & Resonance Knobs: This mod can be found around the net under several different names and versions but essentially it adds knob controls for the filter cutoff and resonance parameters for realtime control. On paper the Poly800 was a pretty well endowed machine but in reality it always sounded a little thin and never really fulfilled its potential, which is where we step in with our Polybeast mods! They came from that strange era of Korg synths where they couldn't seem to decide between analogue and digital, and so came up with a selection of hybrid synths that didn't seem to excel as either sound. The Korg Poly800 and its rackmount / tabletop cousin the EX800 are odd beasts. (Installed on your machine by circuitbenders)ĭIY kits are available for these mods HERE
