I agree, I would too prefer some on-screen controls with knobs and buttons running on PC. My setup is under Linux, and so far I haven't found any tools there suitable for hacking custom synth layout. You know, like those old true analog synth used to have on their front panels. (In fact, I havent even figured out how to just hack one single knob capable of sending certain CC.)
It's that I've got enough spare parts in my junk box, and the itch to solder together another something after I've assembled my HAWK-800 :)
