Re: Evolver Updates / WishList

ok, i would add.....

1.  an alternate overlay for the evolver that labels it as 
an "environmental sound supressor/concentration enhancment sound 
generator"...this would make it suitable to use at work with 
headphones :)

2.  double clicking a row select button should bring you into shift 
mode (currently, you have to double click the shift button, it would 
be much faster to just do the row button...even a tripple click would 
work for me).

3.  cc's for other parameters.

4.  gate times for individual steps would be nice (although you can 
do this with the envelope settings).

other than these, i am compleltely in love with the evolver.  i 
thought i would use it mostly with my windsynth, but i'm such a step 
sequencer junky (yes, i have a problem), that i can't stop programing 
sequencer patches!
