HAWK-800 will display its progress through the boot up power on self tests. If your Poly-800 displays “11 P” immediately after power on then it has not been upgraded with the HAWK-800 kit. You can obtain the upgrade kit at: http://www.hawk800.com/... -
Page 9: Entering And Exiting Global Mode
The synthesizer sends a sequence of 64 individual SYSEX single patch dumps of all of the patches (11-88). The individual SYSEX patch dumps are paced out of the MIDI port at a rate that any HAWK-800 can receive. You should not send any other SYSEX commands to the HAWK-800 until the SYSEX dump send is completed. -

= 1 through 4. Allows selecting one of four different patch banks. HAWK-800 kits produced after May 2009 are all fitted with a 32K flash ROM for patch storage. This large flash memory is capable of storing 256 patches. Global parameter 13 allows selecting one of four banks of 64 patches. -
Page 11: Gl Xx - Program Change Enable
MUST be sent as three consecutive messages starting with the MSB, followed by the LSB and then the data value. Generally this global parameter should be set to one (1) since any MIDI templates that are released by the HAWK-800 team will use an NRPN MSB equal to one. -
Page 12: Gl Xx - Local Sequencer Control
– 0=off, 1=on This parameters allows setting the HAWK-800 so that it retransmits MIDI data messages that are received on the MIDI “in” port and retransmits them on the MIDI “out” port. This is useful if you wish to cascade MIDI devices. You should not use this feature except to cascade another Poly-800 or EX-800 together in a master and slave configuration. -
Page 13: Gl Xx - Cascading Sync Mode
If your HAWK-800 kit is installed in a Poly-800 MK2 then the device type should be set to 2. This enables the MK2 effects parameters (34-38 and 46-47) and disables parameter 48 (chorus). -
Page 14: Gl Xx - Velocity Sensitive Trigger Delay
38 GL xx – Velocity sensitive trigger delay xx – 0=off, 1-63 – xx multiples of (approx.) 300uS delay When using patches that engage velocity sensitive parameters (P1 - 81-88), a small delay is introduced at the onset of note on events. -
Page 15: Gl Xx - Default Selected Sequence
MIDI or the HAWK-800 keyboard. You should generally leave this global parameter at the default value of nine (9). You may wish to adjust this value up or down in order to ensure that the HAWK-800 responds to MIDI note ON events or Poly-800 keyboard events as fast as possible. -
Page 16: Parameter Edit Modes
The HAWK-800 uses an almost exactly identical set of parameter numbers for all three versions of the Poly-800. This means that a Poly-800 MK2 that is fitted with a HAWK-800 kit will have many of the parameters mapped into locations that are unlike the original Poly-800 MK2 but are identical to the MK1 and EX-800. -
Page 17: P1 Parameters 11-18, 21-27
8. 81-88 – Velocity sensitivity group The following sections discuss each of the groups. P1 Parameters 11-18, 21-27 Parameters 11 (DCO1 octave) and 12 (DCO1 waveform) and the DCO2 equivalents (21 and 22) have not changed. Also, parameters 17 and 27 (DCO level) and 18 (DCO mode) have not changed. Refer to the original Poly-800 owners manual for information regarding the use and setting of these parameters. -

Initializing Patch Flash Memory The first time you install the HAWK-800 kit into a Poly-800 the flash memory used to store patches will have random data within it. When the HAWK-800 is powered on it immediately carries out a patch data validation check. Any patch parameter that is found to contain data that is outside of the limits for that parameter will be reset to be exactly half of the allowed range for that parameter. -
Page 31: Midi Hints And Tips
For each parameter, the data value sent should be in the range 0-127 and the HAWK-800 will automatically adjust the value to fit the parameter. So for example, DCO waveform is only 1-2 so the HAWK-800 would set 1 if the MIDI CC data value was from 0-63 and the HAWK-800 would set the waveform to 2 if the MIDI CC data was in the range 64-127. -
Page 32: Midi Cc "Hardware Controller Friendly" Method
Lithium Backup Battery Later versions of the HAWK-800 kit (produced January 2009 and after) use a larger flash memory for all patch, global and sequencer data storage. This means that there is no need to continue to maintain or use a lithium battery in the Poly-800. -

13). To use this tool function you should set up your MIDI computer or another HAWK- 800 to receive the patch dump from the HAWK-800 MIDI out port. If you intend to send the patch flash dump to another HAWK-800, you would set up the receiving unit in tools mode “8”... -
Page 34: Tools Function 8 - Uploading Patch Sets Using System Exclusive Message
Press “8” and the tools mode will wait for a MIDI patch sysex message in order to update the HAWK patch memory. When you press “8” the display will switch to show “Patch” on the display. The HAWK-800 is now waiting for a system exclusive message that contains an entire set of patches. -
Page 35: Performance Considerations
The original Poly-800 sequence editing and playback features remain available in the HAWK-800. Setting global parameter 43 to a value of one (1) will set the HAWK-800 to work just as the original Poly-800 sequencer did.

10. Special MIDI controllers have been created for advanced sequencer edit and playback. All of the above mentioned functions can be activated using MIDI controllers and also, a sequence can be muted while it continues to cycle. This is particularly useful for playing live sequences in time with drum machines and other sequencing instruments or controllers. -
