A new software version has been released for the HAWK-800. The new release includes full MIDI controllers control of all original and extended parameters. The controllers to use are 22 (for parameter bank select) and then controllers 23 thru 30 to change parameters within each bank. You can download the two required sysex files from: http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/techsupport.html Enjoy! Mike.

I should also mention that the new software has a backup battery memory check feature that is checked each time you power up your Poly-800. After you upgrade to the latest software and power up your Poly-800 your Poly will show the word "batt" on the display. Simply press the "Write" key to have the Poly jump into its normal running configuration. If the backup battery is good then the "batt" message will not be displayed again. It will only be displayed when the memory loses its stored value. That should be a good indication that the battery really is exhausted.

==================
some might say that's a bit late, to be displaying a low battery message.

That's too funny! Yes, perhaps I should remove that "feature". But I'll leave it there for now, since I'm trying to find out how long the little old battery will last under normal use. If it becomes a pain, I'll take it out.
