Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

No offense intended if you've already checked this, but are you guys 
sure that you didn't/don't simply have "MIDI Clock" set to something 
other than "OUT" or "I-O"?  If by chance you're not familiar with the 
settings, check page 15 in v2 of the owners manual.  

Having the wrong setting here would cause the symptoms you describe.  
If I'm not mistaken, reloading the OS would also appear to fix 
the "problem" too, since I think it restores default settings.  And 
for the record, I've done a lot of OS upgrades (through all the beta 
releases), and all of them caused the Evo to make clicks, bleeps, and 
bloops during the load process.  It's similar to when you load banks 
of patches.

Let us know how it goes.
