Hi Poly fans,

I have not released the beta firmware yet since I have some more
testing to do but...

I have been busy rewriting the MIDI message handling code and the
HAWK-800 now works much better than the original when it comes to
accepting incoming MIDI messages.

Since modern MIDI controllers, sequencers etc can send messages a lot
faster than the original Poly-800 ever expected, it was necessary to
implement a buffer on the incoming MIDI.

The result is a very much improved handling of MIDI messages. First,
the HAWK-800 can accept a much higher rate of incoming messages and
second, incoming SYSEX messages no longer interfere with the playing
of sounds/notes.

Mike.
