and to use than yours purely binar:
16' 8' 4' 2'
08 = X
04 = X
02 = X
01 = X
12 = X X
10 = X X
09 = X X
06 = X X
05 = X X
03 = X X
14 = X X X
13 = X X X
11 = X X X
07 = X X X
15 = X X X X
I left your original numbers for comparison, but of course numbering
should go from 01 to 15 again.

Sorry if I am not getting this well, but
would this allow combinations like this:
16
8
4 2
ON OFF
OFF ON
ON OFF ;
ON ON
OFF
ON ON OFF
where harmonics are not "incrementally"
switched on? Settings like the above I have actually used for many patches (for
instance, chossing a "square" wave and having only harmonics 16 & 2 on
allows for some bell-like sounds).
BTW, I yet have to post a video and
explanation about some very irrititating behavior my Poly has been experimenting
recently (related to pitch). And I have been struggling with incomes and also
rocketing US dollar exchange rates here in Argentina (1 dollar = 3.8 AR$;
average salary being around 3K AR$) that have put a temporary gag on my plans to
go Hawk 800. Hope to get my Poly fixed soon and then, soon, my
Hawk.
thanks in advance
