Hi Charles,

You can't barge in here. So don't worry about that.

I am the creator of the HAWK kits. If you need help. I am right here. Or you can email support@....

It's difficult to know how experienced someone is with a soldering iron, especially desoldering. So removal of IC29 and the EPROM socket is where some people go wrong.

If you have a desoldering workstation then removing the EPROM socket and IC29 is a piece of cake. And owning  a desoldering workstation basically means, you know what you're doing. Using desoldering wick and or a solder sucker makes the job a bit more of a challenge. Unfortunately, it's the inexperienced that only have desolvering wick or solder sucker that usually get into trouble. Some people have also had problems just soldering the HAWK board itself. This is usually people that have soldered some wires before but have never done PCB work. Cold joints are the most common. When someone runs into trouble, the first thing I do is ask for a photo of the HAWK board solder side and the solder side of IC29 and the EPROM socket. Then I tell them to redo the soldering on the whole and that usually clears the issues up. I have very few problems though. The vast majority of  HAWK installers have no problems at all.

But, I had to write my warnings on the web site just to make sure that inexperienced people understand what they're getting into. And that it is entirely their responsibility if things go south.

I love the Poly so much that I offer a ton of help when people need it. It's just another charitable thing for me.

/Mike

wow : ) mikael u are a true genius !...thanks for taking time to write in...

im a hack of sorts and have done much soldering ,
unsoldering,, pcb drilling, caps,resistor,,(using the desolderirng ribbon/wick)
all in order for equipment to sustain operations....
latest project was resurrecting a casio vz-10m....

so will this co-oresponding cancel out my need for a phone # when I order a hawk800? lol

and mainily I ask because my paypal gave no addition pop-up/pulldown entry field for a phone number


the poly 800 has a legendary sound thats so unique .
people mistake it for another synth
but these were the original as I recall ...dynamic analog polyphonic consoles arose just after the big modular craze phased out from the 70's

keep it alive !

charles

Re: [korgpolyex] hawk-800 upgrade

2018-03-25 by charles chop

I guess my first question is
the surface mount chips I see upon the atomic hawk and maybe the hawk,,,
are they attached prior to shippping?
then all the user does is ribbon connector, diode,resistor,chip holder?

the phone number is usually just for international verification. But I really don't have many problems with anyone. Humans are generally an honest bunch.

latest project was resurrecting a casio vz-10m....

so will this co-oresponding cancel out my need for a phone # when I order a hawk800? lol

and mainily I ask because my paypal gave no addition pop-up/pulldown entry field for a phone number

the poly 800 has a legendary sound thats so unique .
people mistake it for another synth
but these were the original as I recall ...dynamic analog polyphonic consoles arose just after the big modular craze phased out from the 70's

keep it alive !

Hi

Or you can email support@....
It's difficult to know how
experienced someone is with a soldering iron, especially
desoldering. So removal of IC29 and the EPROM socket is
where some people go wrong.
If you have a desoldering
workstation then removing the EPROM socket and IC29 is a
piece of cake. And owning  a desoldering workstation
basically means, you know what you're doing. Using
desoldering wick and or a solder sucker makes the job a bit
more of a challenge. Unfortunately, it's the
inexperienced that only have desolvering wick or solder
sucker that usually get into trouble. Some people have also
had problems just soldering the HAWK board itself. This is
usually people that have soldered some wires before but have
never done PCB work. Cold joints are the most common. When
someone runs into trouble, the first thing I do is ask for a
photo of the HAWK board solder side and the solder side of
IC29 and the EPROM socket. Then I tell them to redo the
soldering on the whole and that usually clears the issues
up. I have very few problems though. The vast majority of 
HAWK installers have no problems at all.

But, I had to write my warnings on
the web site just to make sure that inexperienced people
understand what they're getting into. And that it is
entirely their responsibility if things go south.

I love
the Poly so much that I offer a ton of help when people need
it. It's just another charitable thing for me.

/Mike

Re: [korgpolyex] hawk-800 upgrade

The HAWK is all through hole.

The AtomaHawk has SMD and I put those on myself so you put the easy through hole parts on.

So yes, you do the 'easy' stuff.

I guess my first question is
the surface mount chips I see upon the atomic hawk and maybe the hawk,,,
are they attached prior to shippping?
then all the user does is ribbon connector, diode,resistor,chip holder?

The HAWK is all through hole.
The AtomaHawk has SMD and I put
those on myself so you put the easy through hole parts
on.
So yes, you do the
'easy' stuff.

I guess my first question is

the surface mount chips I see upon the atomic hawk and maybe
the hawk,,,

are they attached prior to shippping?

then all the user does is ribbon connector,
diode,resistor,chip holder?

Hi

Charles,

You can't

barge in here. So don't worry about that.



I am the

creator of the HAWK kits. If you need help. I am right
here.

Or you can email support@....

It's difficult to know how

experienced someone is with a soldering iron, especially

desoldering. So removal of IC29 and the EPROM socket is

where some people go wrong.

If you have a desoldering

workstation then removing the EPROM socket and IC29 is a

piece of cake. And owning  a desoldering workstation

basically means, you know what you're doing. Using

desoldering wick and or a solder sucker makes the job a
bit

more of a challenge. Unfortunately, it's the

inexperienced that only have desolvering wick or solder

sucker that usually get into trouble. Some people have
also

had problems just soldering the HAWK board itself. This
is

usually people that have soldered some wires before but
have

never done PCB work. Cold joints are the most common.
When

someone runs into trouble, the first thing I do is ask for
a

photo of the HAWK board solder side and the solder side
of

IC29 and the EPROM socket. Then I tell them to redo the

soldering on the whole and that usually clears the
issues

up. I have very few problems though. The vast majority
of 

HAWK installers have no problems at all.



But, I had to write my warnings on

the web site just to make sure that inexperienced people

understand what they're getting into. And that it is

entirely their responsibility if things go south.



I love

the Poly so much that I offer a ton of help when people
need

it. It's just another charitable thing for me.



/Mike

Re: hawk-800 upgrade

2018-03-26 by bperkins211@...

My advice would be for someone who has problems getting that socket off is to take it to a local TV repair or other electronics repair shop and see if they would remove it for a small fee.  Most likely it would be ~$25.
What would make them happier to hear is if you tell them you don't need to keep the old socket..  that they can destroy/ cut it up if they need to.  Which I most definitely would if I were to do it again.
Once you get that socket off, the rest is pretty much a breeze.

Re: [korgpolyex] Re: hawk-800 upgrade

anyone know ,?,

were the ex800 hand made ?

from what I remember from being inside once is ,it seemed they were.
was a lot of long component axiles not cut back and some sparingily applied solder on others.

kinda regret servicing this thing now that it goes "under the knife" again.

so guess you wont hear much from me until my hawk finds a home.

or

I drift into any question area...

any known mods for a korg m3r plenty of those around and bottom of the heap in price too!

Re: [korgpolyex] Re: hawk-800 upgrade

2018-03-26 by Michael Hawkins

I don't know but speculating...

The production volume of the Poly was low compared to many other consumer products of 1982.
The boards use many components that were not able to be handled by pick and place machines of 1982.

Put those two factors together and I would say that most if not all of the Poly's were indeed hand made. At most, maybe some parts were populated by a machine. But I doubt it.

Back in the 1980s I had a school holidays job assembling PCBs at the
electronics company my dad worked for. We built up roughly
eurocard-sized PCBs in a jig, which were using similar technology to the
Poly 800 - pick-and-place is hard with through-hole parts! That was all
hand-built, back then.

As for getting the EPROM socket off the board, don't bother trying to
use a solder sucker or braid to get it off. Just chop it up, take it
out in pieces, and then use the braid to clean up the excess solder.
Sockets are cheap.

I've looked for some video of through hole pick and place machines but have come up with nothing BUT, I do distinctly remember seeing pick and place in the movie Koyaanisqatsi (which is in my top five best movies of all time). Ironically, that movies was made in 1982. It seems 1982 was a very good year! Oh and for those who are interested, the story about how they made Koyaanisqatsi is as interesting as the movie itself. In some ways, hacking a Poly-800 is much like what Fricke and Reggio did for the majority of their work in that film. Everything they shot was done with old school camera/film hacking. That movie is truly one a kind and is a far more moving experience than any of the digital masterpieces of late. Interstellar being one of them - great movie! Yet, Koyaanisqatsi remains a quintessential experience. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone that has not seen it on the big screen. Do NOT see it on a TV, not even an 80" flat. Koyaanisqatsi must be taken in as a full cinema screen experience ONLY! Now where were we? Oh yeah, pick and place machines! /Rant over.

"As for getting the EPROM socket off the board, don't bother trying to

Wear eye protection! Breaking up those bakelite type sockets is an eye hazard!

there is no way the hawk can be adapted for the dw6000/8000

I like the midi cc and and extra lfo  it offers . could be very extra usefull on the 6000/8000 for a mod.implant 

Re: [korgpolyex] Re: hawk-800 upgrade

No, the code is entirely written around the 80C85 CPU that was used in the Poly-800.

It took me several years of part time hobby activity to get the Poly done.  So although I would like to do a full rewrite of the DW8000 or DW6000, there just isn't enough time for it.

Maybe one day I'll get a DW-8000 and have a look again. But my real aim is to do a complete rebuild of the Poly-800 main board using modern CPU like an STM32. But again, time isn't available for me to do that yet.

I just got the joystick replacement tested and working. So the next thing I will be doing is the 1RU rack kit for the HAWK.
