Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi all
I was just wondering if this was still being produced. Just looking 
at the contents - this is exactly what I need!

For some reason reverse-engineering sequences only gets me so far 
since it still hard to attribute what's doing what. Sometimes I 
start a sequence & turn down all the Osc's, LFO's and Mod's and 
still hear sounds playing - really makes me scratch my head what's 
triggering it (especially since volume is down on all Osc)!      

I've got the basics covered but faking polyphony and utilizing the 
LFO's, Mod's, rest's - I'm really struggling with. Without all 
these 'tricks' my polyphonic sequences train wreck into eachother!

Any way any info on the tutorials or just general direction would be 
appreciated!

Thanks,
