Re: [Evolver] Many thanks to Ravi

This brings another point.
Perhaps we should talk about the idea of building some patch libraries for the Evolver. First we might simply start with a naming standard so that everyone knows where the patch will load into if useing midi files. Either that, or (pending the hopeful temp patch/compare feature request) we could agree that all patches saved in midi format be first moved to say patch 128 then saved so that users loading patches can generally keep patch 128 as a scratch preset for loading and saving purposes . . . etc.
Another way we could do this is to incorporate a patch contest. That one is easy. We can set a deadline, and people can submit patches. Then we can vote using the polls and have fun. All the while we build a library of patches, etc.
feedback . . .

Subject: [Evolver] Many thanks to Ravi

I know that most people here already know this, but Ravi really does
a great job here. I was reminded of that today when I went cruising
through the "Files" section online. Ravi has made sure to include
anything and everything Evolver related in here. Not to mention the
fact that he answers nearly every single post to this group. So
anyway, I just wanted to pass along a public "Thanks"!

While in the Files section, I came across Ravi's "b1p1v2.mid" patches
file. I'm embarrassed to ask (*really* embarrassed!), but how do you
load patches into the Evolver from a MIDI file? Can I assume that
it's like many others, and as simple as "playing" the file with your
digital sequencer into the Evolver MIDI IN? Just wanted to be sure,
because I've used nothing but SYSEX files with MIDIox for patch
loading/saving on the Evolver.

Thanks a lot.
