Re: [korgpolyex] RE: Wake up!

2014-02-24 by Michael Hawkins

I put the HAWK board together for customers that ask for it. I usually charge $25 bucks for that. But, you still have to do some work on the Poly-800 mainboard itself. So there just is no such thing as "slot right in".

And the AtomaHawk requires quite a few patched in jumper wires. So that kit is definitely a true "mod" because there is quite a bit of work required on the Poly-800 "innards".

Hi mike 
 
            
can i ask just how complicated it is to install the kits or if you ever intend 
on selling a ready made kit that just slots in ?

Using a simple Novation Remote LE-25  controller makes it even more enticing because of the velocity response and  other realtime tweaks. Even though I have the Moog Slayer pots, 12/24db filter  switches, digital delay time pot, and FM-800 pot I barely have to touch  the Hawk once it is set properly. The Remote can access enough functions to  keep me jamming for hours. This kit has been very well thought out and I would  not give it up for love or money.
