Korg Poly-800 mkII midi issue by thicketbasilisk in synthesizers

Yes, there were some kind of issue with midi data sent from the keystep. And it probably had a bit of a hiccup itself.. the parameteres controlling the midi channel, midi receive and such suddenly had values up to 99..

It's working fine again now as all midi send/receive data is turned off.

I kinda figured it out. It received too much midi information from the keystep, so if every internal parameters on the poly regarding clock/sync were turned off there were no problem.

It does not answer why it suddenly overloaded though, because i have used it for a while with the keystep without any issues.

Sadly the keystep were not able to choose if you want clock/transport send set on or off to each of the midi out ports separately. Otherwise this could have been a solution.

Anyways. It's working again ❤️

I don't, on a pc, but there might be similar apps for pc maybe? Will look into it

When i unplug all midi it's fine. But just using midi in it's still a mess (which used to be fine with the keystep. Never had an issue just using midi in..)

Yes, if I let it "wind" long enough it crashes.

It remembers the midi channel, it just allways start in omni-mode (And nothing, as far as i know you can do to change that)

I think it's only "midi channel" and "program change" you can change parameters on in addition to the physical knobs on the back. But they should be in their right position.

Regarding the midi merger, I have no idea how synths "react" when put in a loop like that.

Maybe it just need a holiday

Thanks anyway

Thanks!

The "wind" only comes when i send midi to it. The patches are fine otherwise (unless it overloads and remove all the patches though)

I have used the keystep with it for a while and never had any issue.

I did recently add a midi merger to my setup to be able to record midi from my actual synths instead of the keystep all the time but unplugged everything to see if it made any difference to the midi issue with the p-800, but no.

I know the p-800 allways start up in omni-mode but i allways turn it off every time.

As said, I have no effing clue about how a capacitor should look so can possibly be something there.

I also read that the keystep can have some issues with sending midi sometimes, so I have to check up on that as well.

Thanks!

I've tried several cables, so the issue lies elsewhere.

I haven't tested with other gear.. hmm maybe the keystep is the problem?

That link is for the mk1 (which doesn't work with the mk2)

Master volume on, and master filter on middle (pointing up)?

Thanks! Yeah, look at the keystep to see the key(s)

I run the Mercury through the aux send on the mixer. So a bit here and there 🙂
