Maybe add a distortion effect? I've notices that 99% of the big sounds have a compressor on them which does nothing whatsoever for the sound. You could safely replace it with a distortion effect and play around. I run mine through my Line 6 KB37, so I use GearBox to mangle the krap out of it.

Got a new batch of things brewing right now. Should have 6 new synths out in the next month, all based on the same architecture but each with different oscillators. We will even have our first additive synth!

I've used KORG synths forever. I bought a Mono/Poly in 1982 and from there went on to lots of other stuff - Delta, SQD-1, DW8000, Poly800, DSS-1, DS-8, M1, 01R/W and Trinity. My favourite of all of them is the microX.

heh i've used much the same myself.. about to restore another poly 800, I'll pick pick up an ex8000 to replace my DW sooner or later. The X is a must have. I think though I am going to pair it with a virus rather than a Radias though .. the sound fits better with my over all sound than the Radias ..

the 800 is for shits and giggles since I love them so much..
