Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

Sounds like a great idea!

I've just made a nice patch. Doesn't really make use of the Hawk mod, I'm afraid, but it IS my all-time favourite Poly/EX-800 patch.

Alex,

From my memory, 177 bytes seems right.

But I checked the MIDI implementation chart and my own knowledge of
the code that I wrote and something seems a little off here.

I will check the SYSEX code when I get home this evening.

You could post your sysex of the patch in the files section and I'll
check that out too.

Mike.

Done.

Patch is in
Files/Modifications/HAWK-800 upgrade kit/Patches/
folder, and is called
'tb_EX800Hawk_ListPatch01.syx'

Also, when I send the patch back to the synth, will it always end up
in memory 11? Could there maybe be a way of specifying where it should
end up?

I know this will probably sound archaic, but should we set a key for the sequence, maybe...?

Cheers, Mike.

OK ,I did a preliminary check of the sysex single patch dump send and
receive and on first glance it looks OK.

I was able to send your patch into my Poly and it worked fine.
Ofcourse I don't know your exact patch values so I can't confirm that
it works exactly as it should. But I did quite a bit of testing with
patches of my own and they sysex'd in and out quite OK.

I think it's all working OK.

Mike.

Alex,

I am not sure that your attachments were actually attached.

I created a folder in the files section "Composition 1" where you can
drop them.

I need a musical distraction (other than Ott's Skylon). So I am
definitely going to do some composing.

Mike

I think they were- at least they came back to me when my mail appeared
from the list. On the other hand, I probably should have posted them
directly to the site.
Which I will do right now, in fact.

Right:
I've added a folder called
'tb Bits (Hawk800 Mod Required)'
Contains patch, MIDI file and audio example.
