I have started to dig in to the GUI I've been working on and posted for download awhile back.
I managed to make it so it can be ran as a VST plugin and only have tried it with FL Studio 11 so far..
It's a little tricky, but it does allow me to assign any midi controller to the GUI knob, and thus the GUI knob in turn creates CC's required to change any parameter and outputs the msg's on my USB midi out.
So I am happily using an Akai MPK61's nice faders and rotary controls to control any parameter in the HAWK 800... or use any other controller that sends standard CC's since the plugin translates an incoming CC to the special pair of CC's needed to change a selected parameter in the HAWK800.
I can even use the D Beam controllers on my SP-808 to control parameters! I just use this plugin to translate ANY incoming CC's to msgs the HAWK can use.
Additionally, I have found I can do an "events" window to draw out the waveform the VCF (or any other parameter) will follow..
Here is a vid of my attempt to do a Bass Wobble effect using FL to draw the modulation waves..

it's very short and the audio is out of sync, but it gets the point across what can be done.. ANY parameter can be controlled like this.
You can see in the vid the filter knob (red) is following the waveform (Pattern2). This is raw sound from the HAWK, no FX were added, short of automated control of the VCF.
To hear some FX thrown in, check this clip-

Seems the HAWK isnt fast enough to follow a quickly moving sine wave or any short peaked waves.. due to all the msgs getting crammed in.. the square/clipped top waveforms can work in faster cycles because it is less msgs being sent due to the longer period of a steady value (the HAWK can catch up to the changes).
A very long ramped triangle or sine wave can work, but it must be sllllloooowwww.
