Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Not a stupid question at all!  It's posted at EX5Tech (see the link 
to the EX5Tech Evolver forum beneath my name at the bottom of this 
message).  It would be posted here in the Yahoo group, too, but 
there's not enough space.  :(

Following is the name of the "Evolutionaries" discussion topic in the 
EX5Tech Evolver forum, followed by a direct link to that topic.  This 
topic will always contain a current link to download the 
Evolutionaries soundset (we can edit forum posts, but we can't edit 
these Yahoo messages):

"Evolutionaries • 2003 User Forum Soundset • rev1"

(Note:  If your email client or the Yahoo website has split the text 
of the link above, you will need to copy/paste it into the address 
bar of your browser.)

Almost all of the final "bank 4" sounds come from the Evolutionaries 
soundset, so I think you'll like it a lot.  The Evolutionaries 
authors and program names are all listed in the PDF documentation 
that comes in the archive you'll download.  Glad you like the "Sweet 
Dreams" sequence;  I did that one myself.  :)
 
 
Regarding TB303 sounds... I don't know about *distorted* TB sounds, 
but you might try listening to the sequences in presets bank 3, 
programs #64 ("Polymorphic TB") and #71 ("TB or not TB").  Make sure 
you have a keyboard hooked up to your Evolver, and hit C3 for 
starters when listening to these two sequences.  Hopefully, they'll 
get you heading in the direction of your own personal TB bliss!

Best of luck!
