I couldnt find a schematic for EX-500 on here, but I can't see why you couldnt add a 10K joystick into one. It probably has the same Main PCB as a Poly 800 M1.
On a HAWK'd Poly 800, the pitchbend feature on the keyboard is disabled when the joystick is in parameter edit mode. So you cant edit a parameter and do a pitchbend at the same time.
I don't know if Mike managed to keep/add joystick code in the EX800 version of HAWK software so it can read the voltages from a pair of pots.
That's the key to making it happen more than anything, I'd think.
