Subject: Re: Custom GUI MIDI controller for the HAWK800- Download Link Inside...

Blaine,

Your GUI interface to program the HAWK looks great! I have specially modded my HAWKed Poly 800 by embedding a small laptop computer inside the keyboard itself. I would love to be able to use this interface with the computer inside the keyboard; however, the computer is quite old. It's running Windows 95, has 16MB of ram, Pentium 75MHz processor and has a screen resolution of 640 x 480.

Is it possible that you could modify the program to be able to run in Windows 95 and be able to fit in a screen resolution of 640 x 480? If you could I would be very grateful and post a video with the interface on youtube. You could also send me the source code and I could try to modify the program if you're okay with that.

Here is a video demonstration of my modded HAWK 800 with the embedded laptop:

Thanks,
