Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Well, in the documentation it specifically says not to unplug it 
during the binary countdown, which I'm almost certain I didn't do 
because it never made it past the first 32 step countdown.....during 
the 32 countdown the documentation says it is merely recieving and 
checking the sysex and doesn't start overwriting until the binary 
countdown.......so I didn't "exactly" unplug it when it said not 
to..........The evolver editor may be straightforward, quick and 
efficient but that won't do me any good now that the unit won't power 
up.......Regardless of when I unplugged it, my guess is that the PIC 
still got screwed up in which case I will need a 
replacement.........I think the editor looks very useful and i'm sure 
I will get it one day, but one of the reasons I got the evolver was 
to get away from software synthesis
