Subject: Re: Which sound engine version is the HAWK?

OK, so M1 it is.. I kinda thought so by the sound of it.

So an orig. OS on a M2 will change to this type of EG system after a HAWK install.. thus changing the sound.
Ever notice the sound difference yourself with a HAWK and orig. M2 side by side?

I recall you said the EG's were tricky to "reverse engineer". I wasnt sure if you couldnt cut/copy/paste the EG code from one to the other without actually understanding how it worked.
Can you see the algorithms for the EG code? Or just havnt stopped to recreate in dec. written math from the decompiled firmware?

I recently buggered around with a graphical EG to illustrate an ADBSSR. It uses a script I copied from a code example.. the math in it is complex.. made me wonder if the Korg's ADBSSR had similar math going on in it.
