Also just to clarify only the 4 banks of patches available from sourceforge are to be installed using the Tools>patch mode and only Poly-800mk1/EX-800 sysex dumps are sent in normal operating mode right?

>>I am guessing that you're trying to use Tools mode to receive the EX-800 or MK2 sysex dump. That would of course make some sense and indeed I intend to rewrite the code to do just that but at the moment you send the EX-800 and MK2 dumps to the HAWK while in normal operating mode ("11 P").
