Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I'd also check the "Key Off/Xpose" patch parameter in row 7.  Matter 
of fact, I'd bet that this or the Master Transpose is where you'll 
find the problem.  I don't *think* that you can cause the problem you 
describe (which I've experienced, too) with the Oscillator pitch 
settings.  Actually, your "problem" really IS normal behavior.  When 
you transpose things down too low on the Evolver, the lowest notes on 
the keyboard will be BELOW the lowest MIDI note number.  The result 
is the notes with the same pitch that you heard.
