HAWK-800 new software revision (v1.7) released
2008-11-15 by korgpolyex800
Hi friends, A new software revision is now available for the HAWK-800. You can get the latest files and manuals etc from: http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/techsupport.html This revision corrects a couple of bugs and includes two new but important features. The most important bug fix was actually a Korg bug that I just discovered in their MIDI implementation. With that bug fixed, the MIDI implementation is much more reliable and especially so when the Poly-800 is over run by MIDI messages. The new feature is MIDI NRPN controller support for parameter changes. See the MIDI implementation chart for a description of the NRPN support. The user manual also details global parameter 16 which is the NRPN MSB. This allows you to assign a specific MSB for NRPN device specific support. The other nice feature added is 7 bit resolution of the VCF resonance controller. It was originaly only 4 bits so now you can use your MIDI controller for much more finely controlled VCF resonance. Enjoy! Mike.
