Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Thanks Ski !
I bought the first synth more than 2 years ago ( Waldorf XT),
and althought i have created really interesting patches (for me at least)
i still don't know exactly what i'm doing all the time. I pretty
much always get what i'm looking for, but often i work double shift
just to get there :)
I think it's time now to learn more technical stuff to find
my way around faster and smarter.

And thanks for the KB mag info,

Simon

Hey, great!  Glad the little SysEx utility for Mac OS9 worked out
OK.  I don't have a Mac anymore, so that's very good to know.  Glad
you're enjoying the sounds, too.

Regarding "learning a lot faster"... The people here in the Evolver
Yahoo group and at EX5Tech will help you a lot.  I'd also recommend
reading some resources on the basics of analog subtractive
synthesis.  This will give you the foundation you need for working
with just about any synthesizer.  In particular, I'd recommend
digging up the back issues of Keyboard magazine that contained a
series of columns by Peter Gorges (of Wizoo) called "SoundForum".
Peter wrote an excellent series on the basics of subtractive
synthesis, plus, there was a FREE little "SoundForum" softsynth from
Peter, Native Instruments, and Keyboard.  The "SoundForum" soft synth
is based on Reaktor technology, is very easy to use, sounds great,
and even has an onscreen oscilloscope so that you can see your
waveforms!  You can contact Keyboard mag for the back issues.  If you
can't find the "SoundForum" soft synth, let me know, and I'll tell
you how to find it at www.ampfea.org.

Also with regards to dissecting existing Evolver patches... I have a
utility coming soon that will open Evolver SysEx patch files and
display all the information for a patch on a single well organized
screen.  I've been super busy at work, but I'm going to get Mr. Rock
and Noision1 (and maybe one or two others) to test it soon.  I'll
post a screen shot in the EX5Tech Evolver forum as soon as I get a
chance, too.

Thanks.
