PLEASE NOTE: We will not supply the installation guide, without the parts kit. The data entry knob can be bought separately from HERE. This kit does NOT contain the data entry knob. You will also need some wire, a soldering iron, some solder, wire cutters, a drill with various size bits, and we’d also recommend some solder wick or a solder sucker to remove components from the circuitboard, although they’re not strictly necessary. Having modified a synth, drum machine or toy before would be a definite advantage. You should at least have some experience of soldering and working with various electronic components. While we have produced diagrams and attempted to make the installation as simple and pain free as possible, this is probably not a project for an absolute beginner. More details and demos of the kind of sounds these mods are capable of producing can be found over on the main Poly800 mod page HERE. The EX800 has the same motherboard so the actual mods are the same and you could work from this guide, but obviously the controls positioning will differ.

The kit includes all the necessary parts and an 11 page manual detailing the installation of all the modifications found on our standard 'Polybeast' mods, on a Poly800 mk1. As a result we have put together a limited number of Korg Poly800 'polybeast' mod kits. We have had many requests for modifications kits for our korg Poly800 mkI mods, mainly due to the fact that Poly800's are pretty big and therefore expensive to ship for modding, especially from outside the UK.
