WOW! I like the sound of that.
So how about this, we call my mod the Korg Poly 800 Hawk.
And if the Hawk also has the Moog Slayer mod then we call it the Korg
Poly 800 AtomaHawk.

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"...
