Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

According to the help file (I am speaking of the sept 04 update)
"Saving and Loading Single Programs

Use the right mouse button pop-up menu to save the selected single 
program to a file or place it into a bank."

so I believe this issue has been resolved.  The inclusion of the help 
file was also a nice touch (the orginal didnt have one from what I 
remember).  The help file is available for download with the 2.0.1 
software on their site.

I have been a sequential user for a while so I am used to certain 
Daveisms with regard to programing his gear so I usually accept the 
bugs and just work around them.  I still hold that the editor is a 
worthwhile peice of software if for the wave shaper and sequencer 
editing alone and with the new update, I think you should take another 
look especially if you paid for it already.
