    Hello,

    I recently installed both boards (AtomaHawk 1.4 and Hawk-800 1.5C) in a Poly 800 MKI. Everything works fine but I have error 3 after boot and then display appears 11 P. I uploaded the last software 2.66 and the 4 patch banks but the patches are sounding different, noisy. Any help, please?

    Error 3 means that there is a checksum error in the boot ROM. This is very rare. And in your particular case, it is not actually a problem because I sent out a batch of kits in July 2018 that had boot ROMs with the wrong checksum value. There is nothing wrong with your boot ROM, so the Error 3 message can be safely ignored. However, if you want to stop Error 3 from appearing, you will need upgrade the boot ROM firmware (see here https://sourceforge.net/p/hawk800/discussion/software/thread/383396e6/#f458). Upgrading the boot ROM firmware will clear the Error 3 message. The patches are sounding 'different, noisy' probably because you did not set global parameter 58 to 1. If global 51 is 0 then the AtomaHawk FM800 control will be stuck 'on' and will cause the VCF to be modulated by the DCO's - on all patches. Set global 58 to 0, then change patch, and then check/set all FM800 parameters to zero and that should clear the 'noise'.
