Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

yeah, i finally figured it out...since there's so much background
sound (i'm tuning in between stations) it was registering the change
in dynamics to be a trigger...i found if i turned the volume knob to
just above 'on' (as in barely any volume) then the evolver was able to
register the difference in dynamic and seemed to work.  i just wanted
a real world random generator and i use shortwave quite abit.  we'll
see if i can do anything interesting with it.  thanx for you hep :)
