Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Just got back to "online"...
I'm not able to bring *anything* into the Windows-Evolver-Editor from 
the Evolver- no dump, no program, no banks!!!

The editors' author has blamed my windows 2000 security or some such 
bs...lol.
I'm glad (well, relieved) to hear that someone else has this problem, 
because I thought my Evolver was wack.

I haven't used the editor since the first week I bought it (8 months 
or so ago).

Stephan, beautiful stuff.
