HAWK-800MK2 - MK2 kit is now available!

HAWK-800MK2 - MK2 kit is now available!

2009-05-18 by korgpolyex800

Hi Poly-800 MK2 owners,

I thought I would let you all know that the MK2 kit is now available!

You can buy it at http://www.hawk800.com/buythekit.html

It is $104 USD which is a little more than the MK1 kit because there are a couple of additional costs involved in the MK2 hardware.

I am still working on the documentation which I hope to have posted within a week or two at most.

There are two caveats that you should keep in mind.

First, the parameter numbers are numbered along the lines of the original MK1 and EX-800. So the front panel label on your MK2 would no longer apply to your MK2 once you upgrade to the HAWK-800.

Second, the sequencer goes back to the MK1 size of 256 notes.

In every other way the HAWK-800 MK2 kit provides all of the new features that the HAWK-800 has in the MK1 and EX-800 and it also supports the MK2 effects parameters.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and don't forget to get the word out!

Yours sincerely,

Mike Hawkins
