Well... it's kinda hard to come to terms with this I guess... no doubts your name or initials should be credited! I was suggesting your initials and the "Rev." tag, so that we would have "Poly-800 MH Rev." and "EX-800 MH Rev." but maybe a new name for the instrument is needed? Should be easy to pronounce and have some impact to it, and also be thought in conjunction with the word "Korg"...
 
How about:
 
Korg Poly-800 MH Rev.
Korg EX-800 MH Rev.
Korg M-Hawk 800
Korg M-Hawk 800 EX (for the EX-800)
 
and just for the fun of it, and for those of us who will want to combine Atom's Mods with your redesign:
 
Korg ATom-a-Hawk 800 (lol)
 
more suggestions coming :D

Maybe a poll is in order?

How about the MHoly-800 (pronounced Molly)? LOL

How about Hawkins-800 (for the Poly) and Xawkins-800 (for the EX)?

progress with working out it's behavior but I had put that on the back
burner simply because I was making such great progress on everything
else. Yes, eventually we will most likely have a fourth EG to work
with and perhaps even a fifth. I really want those extra EG's for
exactly your reason as well as unhooking the noise generator from EG3.
The noise generator really needs its own LFO and EG. However, I can't
focus on any of that right now because a) it's going to take a lot of
time to work out how Korg does their EG's and b) I have to finish up
the features developed so far and package up the kit and documentation
etc so that people can start buying the kit.

However, I think a way forward with that would be a hardware mod that
duplicates the master clock and then provide MG with more LFO's etc to
modulate both the DCO1 and DCO2 master clocks separately. That way,
you get separate bend, MG, detune etc on both DCO1 and DCO2 (whereas
right now DCO2 is a slaved clock off of DCO1's master). But once
again, that is just going to have to wait until we get all of this
other stuff out of the way first.

pitch, in the light of the accomplished feat of portamento? Or maybe,
assigning EG to a specific LFo, so that we could have initial pitch
up/down on DCOs for a determined amount of time, in order to create
detuned attacks?
