Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I guess I'm worried about too many "features" creeping into the evolver. 
Features bring complexity which brings bugs.... and the particular points 
raiused by the last poster were IMO, simply features of the instrument..... 
the parameter sequences are as much a part of a patch as the LFO 
destinations, and the idea of arbitrarily being able to turn them off 
without also killing LFO seems a bit strange to me.

Then again, I also think the other thing mentioned in this thread, the idea 
of being able to kick along the sequencer with MIDI notes is an excellent 
idea

I guess the thing is, that with a synth this powerful, and a developer like 
dave smith, its maybe a good idea to be careful of what we all wish for.

>Also your "solutions"  have already been mentioned about a week ago.

gee..... nice deduction sherlock. check the "sent" time of my last email. it 
was sent a week ago. Bloody hotmail eh?

Also. who else mentioned the PC1600 as a midi filter? no one else I read. 
and you might find that I was also the first to suggest turing off MIDI 
options in the sequencer (my email previous to the last one I sent) I have 
another way to do it to, if anyone is interested..... If you have a PC, you 
can use HUBIs MIDI loopback to filter out MIDI start/stop without killing 
MIDI clock (if I remember right... it's been a while since I had to use 
HUBIs to get around single client MIDI drivers)


anyway - happy new year from australia.
