Tools Function 8 - Uploading Patch Sets Using System Exclusive Message - Wantegrity HAWK-800 Owner's Manual

to initiate the transfer of the patches from one HAWK-800 to another (or to a MIDI equipped computer). When
completed, the HAWK-800 display shows "Good" and pressing the "Write" button returns the HAWK-800 to tools mode or
pressing the "Prog/Para" button initiates a reboot of your HAWK-800. Or you can press the "Bank Hold" button to return
to normal synthesizer operation.

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. The HAWK can accept HAWK patch dumps, EX-800 sysex dumps and Poly-
800 Mk2 sysex dumps. When a sysex patch dump is being received the display will change according to the type of sysex
dump.
CAUTION: In ALL cases, the bulk dump patch bank data will be stored in the current selected patch bank (as set in global
parameter 12). Be sure to set global 12 to the desired patch bank prior to using Tools mode 8.
SYSEX Dump Type
HAWK patch dump
EX-800 patch dump (includes sequencer
data and chord memory)
Poly-800 MK2 patch dump
An integrity check is carried out as the data is being copied into memory. If the integrity check succeeds then the HAWK-
800 display will change to "Good" at which point you may press the "Write" button to return to other tools functions . Or,
press the the "Bank Hold" button to return to normal synthesizer operation. Or press the "Prog/Para" button to restart
the HAWK-800. If the HAWK-800 displays an error code then consider the following possible problems:
Error 0 – A system exclusive message was received where the manufacturers ID was not Korg (ID 66 or 42 hex).
•
Error 1 – A Korg system exclusive message was received where the Device ID was not Poly-800 (ID 33 or 21 hex).
•
Error 2 – A Korg Poly-800 system exclusive message was received where the message type was not correct.
•
Error 3 – A Korg Poly-800 flash memory upgrade message was received where the flash message was a software
•
image file and not a patch flash upload.
Error 4 – The patch flash upload was successfully received but the copy of the data into the patch flash memory
•
failed. This could indicate a hardware problem with the patch flash memory itself.
Error 5 - The patch flash upload was successfully received and the data was copied into the patch flash memory
•
but the patch data integrity checked failed to match the system exclusive checksum. This could indicate that the
patch upload data was corrupted during transmission or that the original patch upload system exclusive message
is corrupted.
Errors 0 to 2 generally indicate that the system exclusive message that you are sending to the HAWK-800 is not patch flash
upload message type. Error 3 generally indicates that you are sending a HAWK-800 software image system exclusive
message to the HAWK-800. In these cases, check to make sure that you are using a valid HAWK-800 patch flash upload
system exclusive message.
Errors 4 and 5 could indicate a hardware problem with the patch flash memory.
Error 5 could also indicate that the system exclusive patch flash upload message was corrupted in some way or that the
MIDI transmission contained other unwanted MIDI messages interspersed with the sysex message.
