Re: [Evolver] OT: G2's and the Evolver (was Re: I think I have a problem...)

2005-05-14 by Richard BT

bollocks Julian, had a bad day? Nobody's whining, we all love da Evo here
right? It has a major limitation in its CC# implementation that's all... 
anyway if you read the posts before deciding to shout you'd know I've got a 
real controller (IBK) but
sysex is by no means as convenient - especially for PERFORMANCE intruments 
like
windcontrollers and buchla lightning which don't tend to have sysex! Unless 
pressure is put to DSI and on forums like this for what users want then 
nothing will
ever happen right?

IMO the Evo is a near perfect synth, the inevitable limitations of its low
cost and UI could be overcome with more flexible CC# implementation... Dave 
suggested to me this may be possible in a future OS, but maybe that will 
never happen, if so then I'd quite like to know. That's all.

Try chamomile tea

Richard
