Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Additionally I asked Dave to spec it so that if the sequencer were running 
when a midi patch change command came in then the patch would change upon 
the end of the running sequencer and start the new patches sequence playing, 
holding the tempo. This way the evoler could be nicely synced to a real 
groovebox or sequencer and do it's thing. It remains to be seen whether we 
will get this, but personally I would love to play one or two of my Evolvers 
along with a groovebox live even if I had to manually change the patches 
myself. And then theirs my Notron . . . egad I haven't even begu to explore 
Notron+Evolver.
