Subject: HAWK-800 new firmware almost ready

From: Michael Hawkins <korgpolyex800@...>

Hi HAWK-800 fans,

I am just in the final stages of testing a new firmware update that provides a block "flash copy" of the patch memory. This will help those of you who have been having some trouble downloading patch banks to the HAWK-800.

There are two new diagnostic functions. One sends a copy of the patch memory to sysex and one receives. These two functions are "offline" in that you cannot play notes or do anything while executing the flash dump copy but the benefit is that the HAWK-800 can send and receive the dumps no matter how fast or slow your MIDI computer interface might be.

Will post the new code with instructions soon.

Mike.
