Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hello people, I havnt posted very much on this group before, but i must tell you it has 
helped me a lot and inspired me further.

I wondered if anyone is willing to explain in NOOBY language what the upgrade offers?

I.e. - What does it mean by CC controllers... does this mean i can use a MIDI fader in Logic 
Audio (for example) and assign it to a MIDI channel and it will control the feedback or the 
OSC pitch etc etc etc?

Can I just download the OS from the website and put it on my Evolver (desktop) and take 
advantage of the new patches without the new chipset?

Sorry to sound so glum but I would appreciate some more info. Obviuosly I have read the 
website but I cant make head nor tail as to coming to a conclusion to my two questions.

Many many thanks

- Matt
