HAWK-800 front panel decal

HAWK-800 front panel decal

2010-04-04 by Michael Hawkins

Hi HAWK-800 fans,

I find that I get rather confused with some of the parameters and their 
options so I have been working on a new front panel decal to replace the original. 

I've attached it as a PDF.

If I get enough people interested in having it made up as a real mylar sticker then I may go ahead and make some.

Or, it might look quite OK printed out on a color printer.

I would appreciate feedback from you all.

Please note that the parameter numbers have not come out correctly and I will have to fix that first but you get the general idea.

Mike

Mike, 
This is way better than hunting and pecking in the manual. A pdf is cool, a mylar is even cooler. I told you I was thinking of doing this to help with writing patches. This is much nicer than anything I could have dreamed up. Did you do the graphics? I realize the font didn't translate for crap, but hey it is what it is. Nice job!!!

maybe someone can make a cheat-sheet that lays out the block diagrams... 
like this: http://suspicious.org/~atom/tmp/m6block.pdf

it might not make a good panel graphic, but it would be nice to have on a 
sheet of paper.

I downloaded a seven segment font set from here: http://www.twyman.org.uk/Fonts/

I created the decal in OpenOffice Draw version 3.1. Everything looks fine with the decal in Draw.

When I export it to PDF, somehow the font is getting its alignment messed up.

I am going to send the Draw doc and the PDF to the guy who put the font together and see if he can come up with a reason why and maybe a fix.

Meantime, I've attached the Draw document so that people can print it out for themselves.

I got very frustrated trying to remember the harmonics combinations and the different LFO waveforms. And I am surprised no one had asked me what the extra two values (12 and 13) are in the LFO waveform parameters. Those are for routing EG3 or EG3 inverted to the particular chosen modifier. Basically, you can route EG3 to any of the modulators instead of LFO waveforms. I look forward to hearing some patches from ppl that use this cool undocumented feature.

Anyway, I just had to improve the accessibility of the different parameters so the decal came into being.

See attached and enjoy!

Mike.

Hey Mike, 
Did Yahoo mess with your file or just me? When I downloaded your attachment it came up as a zip file not the .odg extension. Then Winzip let me unzip it and the result was a couple of folders and a few xml files. The only image is a thumbnail that's micro sized. I'll have to wait for OpenOffice to check it out after I renamed it back to the .odg extension.

I like Tyman's font. I doubt Adobe Acrobat will understand it though, hope he proves me wrong.

Hi Fran,

I just opened the attachment straight into OpenOffice and it showed up now problem at all. Is your AV mangling the download? Filtering software at the office maybe?

Adobe PDF is supposed to handle true type fonts. So I dunno.
