Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Everybody,

I decided to join this list to help solve any problems with 
EvolverMAC version. I will open a source code to see what may be 
preventing this software to work on some systems. In a next couple of 
days with your help I hope to compile and post EvolverMac program 
that should met your expectations. The biggest issue seem to be 
receiving data from the evolver. Simply, the reason might be that I 
mixed up something with model Evolver/Poly modes. I apologize for any 
inconvenience that this might have caused but I can assure you I will 
fix all this very soon and I am here to support both the Evolver and 
the editing software.
