Re: Full Reset

2004-05-22 by ski_ex5tech

There is no front panel command to reset the Evolver.  What you'll 
need to do is reload the operating system.  Go to the dsi site and 
download the files for OS2 if you don't already have them.  The files 
come with generic instructions.  If you have a PC, you can find much 
more specific instructions in the following two topics at EX5Tech:

Using MIDI-OX to Save & Load Evolver Patches

ubb=get_topic&f=23&t=000013

OS Upgrades and MIDI-OX Buffer Settings
http://www.ex5tech.com/ex5ubb_cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?
ubb=get_topic&f=23&t=000045

(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.)

I know the first topic is about "Loading Patches", but loading the OS 
is essentially the same thing - sending SysEx files to your Evolver.

Be especially sure not to power off your Evolver during the OS update 
process.

Best of luck, and let us know how it goes.
