Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I'm going to disagree with you on this one, Ronald.  You can get a *very* limited sort of
different note lengths using envelopes.  Is all you want to vary is how long the note
sounds, and not the timing of the start of the note, you are correct.  I can (not so easily,
but possible) get a note that is a sixteenth in duration followed by a three sixteenths
rest, with the following note a full quarter note.  What you cannot get is a sixteenth note
followed directly by a quarter note.

I asked Dave Smith specifically about variable timing in Evolver.  His reply is that it
introduces all sorts of synchronization complexities, such as keeping LFO's in sync.  So,
don't hold your breath for this feature.  A shame, since it's number one on my "most wanted"
list.
