[Evolver] Re: Soundtower Update

2005-12-01 by rickyannotta

Played around with the new version last night. I feel I have hands 
on control of this beast for the first time! Whether I decide to 
edit from the Remote, the Evo or the editor everything works 
together for the first time. Turning knobs & sliders on the Remote 
and having it update on the screen in realtime is *very* nice. The 
Remote template posted here is excellent BTW.

One last wish for the Soundtower.  The editor does not seem to 
follow program/bank changes made from the Evo or the midi 
controller, only from within the editor itself.  It's a small gripe, 
but would be a *nice* finishing touch. No more mousing and such just 
to change a bank/program.

Thanks
Rick
