Hi, great , great atmosphere here !!
What about possibility to implement your kit here in Europe ?

- What, if Poly is in Arp mode, and will recieve Hold command ?
- Regarding name : Korg AtomAhawk is wonderful.
But idea :
MiKORG 008
(MiK from Mike + sounds like My Korg - I think all of us feel "my
korg" emotion, otherwise we wouldn`t disscuss here...;
008 - year + refers to original 800)
MiKORG X08 for EX-800 .

about an hour writing the code to add a MIDI controller to turn
portamento on and off - and it works! So now, when you cascade two
Poly's together, you can have one unit put the other into the mode
that you wish. This was driving me nuts over the weekend when I was
toying around with cascade mode but was not able to put my EX800 into
Portamento mode (or any other mode) because it lacks the three mode
buttons. Over this weekend I will add additional controllers to allow
switching into Chord and Hold modes. But I need your input or
suggestions as to which controllers I should use to do that. I don't
possess any hardware MIDI controller at all, so I am completely
unaware of what various MIDI controllers out there have in the way of
push buttons that would send MIDI control messages. Most of them seem
to have plenty of knobs but not many push buttons. Anyway, there is a
MIDI controller message available for Hold
> Pedal (64) and Hold 2 Pedal (69). So to me it would make sense to
use those two to enable Hold and Chord Modes.

And, if you send a MIDI Controller Hold 2 On (69) message then it
would switch to Chord mode. And of course, if you send an On message
to Portamento control (65) then the Poly would shift to Portamento
mode.

should store the playing mode as well. This occurs to me to make some
sense because I am quite certain there will be certain patches that I
would set up specifically for portamento mode. And I think it follows
that there would be other patches that I would prefer to set up for
chord or hold modes too. I think it would be relatively easy to set
this up in the extended patches area. Would it be a nice thing to be
able to change patches and have the mode also change to the mode that
you had saved for that patch?
