Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

.. and I must diagree with your disagreement :)

'bugs' does not equate to 'crash'. Yes the editor has not crashed 
for me, but some of its most basic functionality is bugged. 

For example; take any PC editor and..

a) Select a preset from the library
b) Edit the preset and tweak some params
c) Select 'Save single preset'

What would you expect? I think 99.9999999% would say it saves your 
edited preset. Wrong! With DSI it saves the original libarary 
preset. When I reported this the author confirmed there is *no* way 
to save a single edited preset apart from writing it back to a empty 
library, or saving it in the Evolver and saving it from there. 

A fix was promised months ago. After I lost a few good edits I just 
gave up and ditched the editor.
