Ya, she's in rough shape, but I'm not quite ready to give up. After I cleaned it up this week and started fixing the broken keys... it doenst look TOO bad. The couple patches I manually programed are loud and clear and sound good...
What I really want is to MOD it, make it useful in my band as a gimmicky piece of nostalgia, but I'm nervous installing Hawk into a 'knackered' 'board as you put it. (I love your vernacular btw).
But I guess HAWK800 would fix the problem too...with it's much improved Midi Sysex? I could forget about the tape interface/lack of Mk1 sysex altogether.
Silly question: Where do I aquire an EX-800 ROM? & Wouldnt I lose Joystick control?
Decisions, decisions....
