Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

WOW!  You powered down the Evolver during the upgrade and lived to 
tell?!  ...when Dave's instructions specifically said, "Thou shalt 
not remove the power source from thy Evolver during the sacred 
procedure"?

You have some seriously large copper/zinc alloy spherical objects!

Kidding aside, I AM surprised that your Evolver still works.  I can't 
imagine why the procedure didn't work, unless a) you just needed to 
wait longer, or b) you still need more and/or larger output buffers.  
You DID adjust the OUTPUT buffers, and not the INPUT buffers, right?

I actually had the same problem the first time I tried to upgrade to 
v1.4, but it was because I hadn't adjusted the output buffers.  I 
thought my Evolver PIC/DSP chips were hosed, but I simply performed 
the procedure again (*without* powering off/on) after adjusting the 
buffers, and everything went fine.

You may want to try more and/or larger buffers, but I'd probably 
email Dave on this one.  Best of luck!
