Hi,
∗Vel > Eg 1, 2, 3, and 4 Amplitude (not sure if this is the best techie way to describe it but, basically, the harder you hit, the louder it sounds/the more the VCF opens up/the more EG4 affects global pitch/noise)
∗Vel > all EG steps (att, dec, brk p, slope, sus, rel) or at least some of them
∗Vel > filter cutoff and reso
∗Vel > FM-800
∗Vel > oscillator interval
∗Vel > LFO speed
∗Vel > LFO wave change
∗Vel > "muting/unmuting" the different harmonics? Say, play lightly, only first harmonic is heard... play harder, a more sawtooth-like sound
is heard as the remaninig 3 harmonics are engaged. Dunno if it is feasible, though.
(if any other ideas come to me, i'll let you know)
BTW, all the above should be possible to be assigned both positive and negative modulation on the targets. Also, some sort of keyboard tracking would be cool.
Who knows? maybe the Atomahawk 800 will end up as a poor-man Oberheim Matrix 12? Ha, it feels so nice just asking The Man for more... like a kid in a candy store...

OK, this is great feedback.
I've been making good progress going back over my code and collapsing certain parts of it into reusable functions so that the memory use is actually dropping right now.
I also have been thinking about the ARP too. It is not on the top of my list that is for sure. I think a simple ARP is a good idea for those of us who don't use computers or a hardware sequencer. But how many of us are in that position?
Since I was able to get the sustain pedal working and actually change the EG1/2 sustain in real time according to the pedal, it is now quite possible to change any part of the EG parameters according to velocity.
I believe I can do the same for EG3.
So I can see that altering attack on EG1/2 or EG3 might be things we'd like to change according to velocity.
What other parameters might we want changed according to velocity?

i'd say the HAWK-800 is well on the way to "killer" without a sequencer or
arpeggiator. somewhat disregarding my own personal wish-list (LCD & sysex
for panel events), i think velocity sensitivity is the ∗only∗ thing the
kit is "missing".
