"This Poly 800 is not only Custom in appearance, but in functionality too.
Inside are the HAWK 800 mod boards (HAWK 800 and Atomahawk) with custom firmware that add tons of new features, including midi control over all parameters.
This is not the simple "Moog-Slayer" mod. It is WAYYYYY better.

Check out the HAWK 800 website-
www.hawk800.com

If you go here and download the "Version-2.65l.zip" file you will find the Owners Manual and Parameter Charts inside the zip.

2.65l is the latest version of firmware and is what's loaded into this machine.

There are even a few features Mike put in this version that I suggested!


Here are some Sample videos:


Videos are of the synthesizer before it was painted. Shown using the midi controller, showing some features of the GUI and some tricks using DAWs to manipulate the MIDI control.

This synthesizer was "overhauled" over the years. It has been taken apart, cleaned and reassembled by a professional aerospace electronics technician (me!). Restoring synthesizers is a hobby of mine I do in my spare time.
The volume knob is not "noisy".. no scratching. The joystick works as it should. EVERYTHING WORKS!"
