to all patches and to the overall operation of the synthesizer.
Entering and Exiting Global Mode
To enter global mode, make sure that you are in program (patch) selection mode (in other words, you should not be in
parameter editing mode) and press the "Step" key.
When you have entered Global mode the display will change to show 11 GL 11. The first 11 refers to the selected global
parameter. The "GL" indicates that the synthesizer is in global parameter edit mode and the second 11 indicates the data
value of the global parameter.
There are two types of global parameters. They are global commands and global parameters.
Press the "Step" key to exit global mode at any time.
Global Mode Executable Commands
To execute a global command requires using the keypad to select global parameter 11 and then selecting a command to
execute using the data up and down buttons.
How to execute a global executable command
1. Select the global parameter number for executable commands: "11".
2. Select the desired command using the "Up" and "Down" value buttons.
3. Press the "Write" button to execute the command.
The following executable commands are implemented in the HAWK-800 software:
11 GL 11 = No operation
No command is executed if you select executable parameter 11 and set the data value to 11 and press the
"Write" key. This ensures that you don't accidentally execute a command if you enter Global mode and press the "Write"
key in error.
11 GL 12 = All notes off (Panic Button)
The synthesizer resets all sounding notes and will send the all notes off MIDI message on the currently selected
keyboard MIDI transmit channel if it has been set to a channel. If the keyboard MIDI transmit channel is set to zero then
the MIDI all notes off message will not be sent.
11 GL 13 = SYSEX bulk dump all patches
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.
11 GL 14 = SYSEX dump single patch
The synthesizer sends a SYSEX single patch dump of the patch selected by global parameter 12. This means that
you should first set the appropriate desired patch number in global 12 prior to executing this command.
11 GL 15 = SYSEX dump single patch
The synthesizer sends a SYSEX single patch dump of the currently select patch. This means that you should first
