Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Yes.

If you push a key on a synthesizer with keyboard, a "note on" message is 
generated. Note on means: trigger all envelopes. It's similar with the 
Evolvers step sequencer. Every step generates a note on message. Actually 
you can't say that a certain row of the stepsequencer is responsible for the 
note on messages, it's the nature of a step sequencer to do this ;)
Because sequencer line 1 is used for off steps, breaks and resets too, it's 
just helpful to regard it as the note generator.
