Re: [Evolver] updating to 2.0 killed my evolver!

2003-10-27 by Robert Shanks

Hi -

Email Dave.  He will send you a new PIC chip with instructs on how to put
it in.  The exact same thing happened to me (and I was a synth tech for 10
years!).  Where are you?  If you're near by (Raleigh, NC) I'll help you do
it.  If not I can talk/email you through it.

Cheers - Robert
