Korg Poly-800 Synthesizer with many mods


via this auction

"The first mods that were performed were the famous "Moog slayer" mod, which brings the cutoff and resonance pots out for manual use, with a knob added for each. NO MORE MENU DIVING! The filter mod was also done, so you also have a switchable 24/12db filter. I then began to experiment and added a FM amount knob, a chorus modulation knob, a noise control, and also a chorus distortion knob. Audio in was my last project, as was servicing the joystick and getting that working up to par... BE WARNED! The Moog Slayer mod CAN kill your speakers if the resonance patch data exceeds a value of 10-11. This is documented in the mod's DIY site..."

    Does anyone know of the mod site that is mentioned?

    I installed the moog slayer on a poly800 a friend had and I have an ex800 that I will do this to at some point but the chorus, FM and filter 12/24db switch excite me greatly! ;-)

    The 12/24dB switch and the FM mods are quite easy to perform and bring a vast new sound palette to this synth.
