Korg - Poly 800 - EX 800 - MKIII:
The Korg Poly 800 and its EX 800 companion module were great synthesizers for their time. But their MIDI implementation is very short on features. Furthermore, there are several features that are just plain missing and on top of that, there are some excellent modifications that hackers and circuit benders have been doing that require drilling holes in your treasured keyboard. This we are changing by disassembling the original software and designing and manufacturing a retrofit kit whereby we increase the total memory (both RAM and ROM) and thus provide the additional features via the original 80C85 processor.
