each patch individually and they are stored separately in the same manner as the original parameters in the Korg Poly-800
or EX-800.
NOTE: For the purpose of simplifying this document and the discussion of parameters, from this point forward, original
parameters will be referred to as "P1" parameters and extended parameters will be referred to as "P2" parameters.

Parameter Edit Modes

The behavior of parameter edit mode has been changed to make it easier to access both original (P1) and extended (P2)
parameters. From software version 2.0 and up, you enter extended parameter edit mode simply by pressing the prog/para
button twice (from the patch select mode). In other words, you access both the P1 parameters and P2 parameters by
pressing the prog/para button.
1. Press prog/para once to enter P1 parameter editing mode. The display will show "P1 xx yy" where P1 indicates
editing the original parameters.
2. Press prog/para again to enter P2 parameter editing mode. The display will show "P2 xx yy" where P2 indicates
editing the extended parameters.
3. Press prog/para again to return to patch selection mode. The display will return to "11 P" where 11 is the
selected patch and P is the Poly mode.
In addition, from software version 2.4 and up, the operation of the "Step" key has been changed to allow moving back to
P1 mode from P2 mode and back to patch select mode from P1 mode. This allows for faster editing of parameters by
being able to quickly move back and forth between P1 and P2 mode using the prog/para and step buttons.

Remapped Original Parameters

Certain parameter numbers have been changed to allow support of the MK2 effects parameters and to fit in additional
parameters as efficiently as possible. 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.
Some parameters in the MK1 and EX-800 have also been moved so that the front panel decal on any of these synths is not
of much use since too many parameters are new and old parameters have moved.
1. The purpose of the original parameters 13 to 16 (DCO1 harmonics) and 23 to 26 (DCO2 harmonics) have been
changed so that harmonics can be modulated by LFO's.
2. The MK2 effects parameters are now placed in original parameter locations 34-38.
3. The VCF resonance (parameter 42) has been moved to extended parameter 51.
4. Original parameters 43 to 46 have shifted down one (to 42 to 45).
5. Original parameters 46 and 47 are now the parameters for the Poly-800 MK2 bass and treble.
It is recommended that you print out and use the parameter quick reference guide for fast reference to all of the P1 and
P2 parameter numbers and their use.

P1 Parameter Groups

The P1 parameters are divided up into groups of operation. There are eight groups as follows:
1. 11-18 – DCO1 group
2. 21-27 – DCO2 group
3. 31-38 – DCO interval, detune, noise and MK2 effects group
4. 41-48 – VCF, EG3 triggering, MK2 EQ and MK1 chorus group
5. 51-56 – Envelope generator 1 (EG1) group
6. 61-66 – Envelope generator 2 (EG2) group
7. 71-76 – Envelope generator 3 (EG3) group
