Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] Which sound engine version is the HAWK?

From: Michael Hawkins <korgpolyex800@...>

The HAWK uses M1 EG's slopes and triggering.

The ∗only∗ part of the original Korg code that I haven't been able to reverse engineer is the envelope generator operation.

And due to economic concerns, I don't have the luxury of time to figure them out.

Ran across something in the MarkII service manual recently...

Evidently the MarkII's have a few differences I wasnt aware of in it's parameters.

DECAY/SLOPE/RELEASE on the M2 are exponential slopes vs. the M1's linear slopes (M2's "Slope" will be linear if the Sustain Level is higher than the BreakPoint Level.)

Keyboard Multitrigger Mode is different too. If I understand the pictures in the M2 service manual correctly, additional triggers on a M1 start the EG from the very beginning again, on M2's they evidently start wherever you were in the phase of the EG that the first key began... so if you were in the middle of the decay slope and trigger an additional note, that 2nd note will restart the EG at the halfway point of the decay slope instead of starting the Attack slope from the beginning again.

Take a look at the M3 service manual to see what I'm talking about-

So I'm kinda curios, which versions of the above does the HAWK800 have? M1's version or M2's?

I was thinking it might be kinda cool if you could choose between the M1's versions and the M2's.
