Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Thanks for the advice, Graeme

I just attempted your scheme with my setup.  My only sequencer 
currenty is Project 5, which has midi sync. But so far the Evolver 
hasn't responded happily to my attempts.  I set Midi recieve to ON, 
Midi Clock setting to IN, Trigger select to ALL. But when I press 
play on my sequencer (with midi sync on & desired output settings) - 
no dice so far. I also wasn't sure if there were anything else I 
should do to get evolver ready to recieve via midi sync.  Of course 
the problems could be somewhere else but judt thought I'd check to 
get the Evolver side of it straight.          

Evolver make a good laptop companion as it's really small and fits 
nicely next to the laptop on my desk!  I hope I can get this 
working!!!!

a midi merge or splitter would do the job (splitter is cheaper), but, 
i'm assuming yer running some kinda midi sequencing s/w ??
i only know Logic, but, reckon it may apply - there should be a 
setting in yer s/w seq to enable a *soft* midi thru.
 
I have the following set up on my lappy:
controller k/b midi out --> pc midi in --> [s/w seq midi thru]
then, pc midi out --> wee blue beastie midi in
 
(my set up is actually more complex but that's the gist of it!)
you can then select the DSI from yer arrange page of the midi seq and 
then (assuming all the channels are correctly set up in s/w)  playing 
the k/b will trigger the DSI via the sequencer (and, if *record* is 
enabled also record the playing as midi data) the only drawback with 
this simple set up is tha there's no recording of DSI knob tweakings 
but otherwise works well.
