Re: Does Evolver ship with an empty Bank 3? / "Lock Seq" function

2003-04-23 by ski_ex5tech

Sayer, you said, "The Evolver does not seem to change the sequence 
with the patches even though the Seq Lock is set to off."

The Evolver saves sequence data in each patch (a.k.a program).  With 
the "Lock Seq" function set to OFF, the Evolver operates normally, 
and (assuming a given patch contains sequence data - realize that not 
all of them do) it will play each patch's sequence as you would 
expect.  Turning "Lock Seq" ON simply prevents the loading of new 
sequence data as you change patches, and essentially gives you a way 
to hear the same sequence played with many different sounds.  You can 
also use this trick as a means to copy sequence data from one patch 
to another.

Unless the Evolver - the one that you don't have, of course - has a 
problem, this is how it should operate.
