Hey Atom,

great to hear from you. I sent you an email about a week ago but I think your antispam rules are a bit too strict.

Anyway, I hope you're doing well and great to hear from you!

I don't have a lot of time on my hands these days so I am not sure which way I am going to go.

We have:

1) the unfinished rack project.
2) some unfinished software features in HAWK.
3) a desire for more control over DCO's

I am not sure which way to go to be honest.

Mike

i've been lurking since i hit my head and not keeping up with everything,
but i have to ask... at what point will you stop modding the P-800 and
just design a DIY kit that we can assemble, starting with a printed and
drilled board? now that you're looking at new DCOs, i'd say the time has
come ;)

among other things, you can really get the UI right, from the start...
like having a 2x16 char LCD, and 4-6 front-panel knobs that are
user-assignable, per patch.

i'm still waiting for a rack-mount kit for my EX-800, but if you come up
with your own DIY kit that's "inspired" by the P-800 (and its
modifications), and available with an option for a rack-kit, then i may
just sell my EX-800.
