Korg Poly-800 - Stringy padded things (some more patches/presets)

I was briefly in possession of another Korg Poly-800 this month, which I only had time to use once, but I created a bunch of mostly string pad-type sounds, as I was originally aiming to re-record a couple of old uploads (links below):
   • Korg Poly-800,Doepfer Dark Energy 1,E...  
   • Korg Poly-800 & Doepfer Dark Energy 1...  
   • Korg Poly-800 Mk1 some of my patches ...  
The Poly-800 was a strange synthesizer; whilst being an 8-voice polyphonic synth (or 4 voices with 2 oscillators per voice) it only had one analog filter shared across all voices, which was limiting, but could produce some interesting musical results.
Buyers beware: Both my Poly800's had the common dead motherboard battery problem for this particular model, and lost the preset storage memory after power-off. On my first one it only seemed to retain them with power batteries constantly installed (I didn't have batteries the second time), but this isn't advisable for extensive periods of time due to potential leakage.

Geek stuff: recorded using AUM on an iPad, Audio Damage EOS2 reverb, via an iConnectAUDIO4 interface. Filmed on a LUMIX GH4 and GX7.
