Hi Tom,

Set Extended Parameter 87 to 00 and the sweeping filter will stop. This is the EG3 sync source and rate control. After the flash it will midrange to 31. Setting it to 00 will stop the free run and trigger the filter from key events only.

The 11 H just means there aren't any patches loaded/saved yet. Go to the files section and find a Mk1 sysex dump and load it. Slow the transfer rate for the dump way down so the flash will have time to write. When the Hawk-800 accepts a good sysex transfer it will send F0 42 21 0C F7.

It sounds like you did a good job wiring up your kit! :-) Fran

The sweeping alters when buttons that transmit midi signals are pressed (the poly/chord/hold buttons, moving the sequencer speed slider, etc). I have tried reflashing it multiple times including with the beta software version. Do you think I may have damaged the circuits? Or could it be a loose connection from removing the board? Also if someone could send me a MK1 sysex patch dump I'd greatly appreciate it so I can test if it will load up sounds.
