good news! I've made some real breakthroughs with improving the speed
of handling the LFO's in the HAWK-800 software. It's truly amazing
what you can get a little 8 bit CPU to do if you know how to use
pointer jump tables.
The result is that, I will soon be releasing a software upgrade that
remaps the extended parameters into a sensible arrangement since the
existing layout is, to be quite honest, awfully confusing.
And, along with the existing two LFO's we will add another two SLFO's.
The waveforms available for all four LFO's are triangle, sawtooth,
sine, PWM and random and all can be inverted!
In addition, the SLFO's can modulate the rate of the LFO's.
And, the a single LFO and SLFO can be additively applied to the depth
of DCO (either bend or MG or both) and VCF.
Stay tuned for that software release coming out soon.
And for all of you who think that the AtomaHawk is never coming. I've
been working on that too and currently have FM-800 under EG3
influence. And if the total CPU cycles don't get exhausted soon, the
Moog Slayer will be able to be modulated by LFO and EG. It's not ready
for prime time just yet.
Mike.

Great news, Mike! Sounds like we are getting very
close to the goals set not too long ago.
And now... OK, I know this is not a priority for
you, but I'd like a show of hands from all interested people here: is there
anybody out there who considers it a worthy addition to have velocity
sensitivity implemented in the Hawk kit? Can you imagine the filter cutoff and
resonance opening and closing according to MIDI velocity? I'd go
yahooooooooooooo about that. Just think about new levels of expression with our
Poly 800's.
Please Mike, could you explain if this is too hard
to implement or just not a priority for you?
And of course, the more Youtube videos, the more
you'll increase the appetite of us still-fence sitters.
Thanks a lot
Dave
