A single filter = it s a paraphonic synth. A normal polyphonic synth would have a filter for each voice, e.g. the JX-8P, which can sound massive, percussive,

Probably because all voices share one filter, and because saw wave is not real saw wave here, but only its approximation from the mix of four square waves.

What makes folk say it s not a poly synth? Because the voices share the same filter, is it? It s not multitimbral, yeah. Surely folk aren t mixing the two up?

Hey Gordon, Yeah well it did use to work. It was one where you could change the voltage so 9v wasn t even the maximum. Reckon its a dead power supply then?

Silly question but are you sure you have MIDI receive channel set to the channel that you are sending CC s on? Mike ________________________________ From:

Thanks for trying to figure this out. I tried the new code and the HAWK still wont respond to NRPN s from the Oxygen 8. All the standard CC s work though.
2013-08-02 by Michael Hawkins
Actually, here is better code. It says, if I receive any RPN then cancel the current status for NRPN s. So if you inadvertently send RPN s they won t stomp on
2013-08-02 by Michael Hawkins
OK, I changed the code to allow sending MSB,LSB or LSB,MSB and then data values. And I also allow sending multiple data values without MSB or LSB being resent.
