Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

The HAWK is the same code in original Poly, EX-800 and MK2. So using POTS on the EX-800 is absolutely doable.

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.
