There are a few oddities that arise out of its architectural reliance
on midiquest.  Midiquest is a very complex program and offers numerous
ways to achieve the same result.  This is undoubtedly a good thing in
a program that is a general purpose midi editor/librarian, but where
it is used for a specific end (like the evolver vyzor) it can seem a
little fustian at times.  This is definitely an app where you will
have to read the manual to get the most from it.

Total recall is not quite there yet.  You have to save your settings
to a file before quitting and then reload that file after you have
loaded your project file.  Saving in the host does not save the
current settings.  There is also a relation between the page currently
displayed and the underlying automation data - each page has different
parameters - and so you need to remember to always have the same page
open when you automate via your host.

A few small niggles aside, I like the vyzor.  With a bit of planning
and understanding of how the program works, it basically replicates
the functionality of the virus ti's total control for the evolver. 
Without the crashing and satan's saw <wink/>  And the dynamic
sequencer display is very, very cool.
