Re: New HAWK 800 user up and running

Hello again,

So after playing around I can see how to assign velocity using the parameters, so it's starting to come alive. Just been experimenting around with it, it has an interesting tone. I like it. Sort of subtle and modest, understated, a little 80s, arcade tone like - understandably. Thing I like about it is it's a little different, a little unique compared to my other stuff.

I've also got a midi controller working via basic CC control. However for the more advanced parameter control I can't get a single slider on my controller keyboard to send multiple MIDI messages, such as CC 84/85 combos in order to select a param and send the associated data value.

Are there equivalent single message Sys-ex messages that I can send as a single MIDI message to control all the various params in the Poly800? I can't find any description of that in the docs but it really would be great if possible.

Also I'd still be very interested to hear any HAWK specific banks/patches. I think it's all working fine so I'll do the AtomaHAWK mods next time I have a bit of spare time.

One strange thing though. Param P1 - 48 - Chorus on/off. I can no longer here this making any difference at all. I don't know how that's possible but I'm sure it worked before. Any ideas on that?

Many thanks, Louis
