Thanks Erik,

Thinking about it from the buyers perspective, I can see how people might hesitate to buy a kit that has a battery problem and a known as yet unfixed sequencer bug.

Hang on, isn't that how Korg released the Poly-800? LOL

But seriously, I understand the concern.

I will be working overtime to get the patches moved into FLASH and working on fixing the known MIDI sequencer bug. Both have known ways of fixing them but just need some time to be done. Something that spent some considerable time explaining to my better half.

The kit is $99 USD and can be bought directly here:

Since posting another kit on ebay, I've also received quite a few questions that are not answered or explained on the website. So I plan to spend more time getting the documentation in order as well.

Thanks to all for your support.

Mike.

Mike,

Please repost purchase information for the hawk kit. I have been
waiting for the bugs to be worked out before I purchased the kit
myself. Once it's solid and most of the major bugs worked out, I
think you'll find a lot of us 'open minded skeptics' oredering these
kits...
