Re: [Evolver] Re: Envelope triggering

2003-01-13 by Woody Wall

Tried both of those. Key Mode only affect incoming MIDI notes and my 
envelopes are short. I've worked around it by using Evolver as the master. 
Pressing Reset on the Evolver doesn't set the 505 to the beginning of the 
sequence, though, so I have to do each individually. Not a major 
inconvenience, but it's nice to use the transport controls on the 505 to do 
it all.
