Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hey, Robert, your sequence sounds like it's a good one!  Can't wait 
to hear it.

If you can post it to the "Files" section in the Yahoo Group, that's 
great.  If for some reason you can't, or don't want to... yes, you're 
more than welcome to email it to me.

To clarify a bit, EX5Tech DOES have a lot of patches, samples, 
tutorials, utilities, etc. available to download for the Yamaha EX5.  
We DON'T have any Evolver files available... yet!  :)  We also don't 
have a "self serve" mechanism like the Yahoo Groups, where group 
members can upload their own files.  People get their work to me 
(more often, we're involved in group projects), and I post the files 
on the site, which are available on our downloads page.  

There are lots of links to the EX5Tech downloads page on the site.  
If you're on the "main" site (non-discussion forum pages), the 
downloads page is listed on the "Departments" dropdown menu.  If 
you're on the discussion forum pages, go to one of the forum summmary 
pages, and you'll see a link to the downloads page in a bulleted list 
toward the upper right.

Whenever our Evolver "User Soundset" is finished, I WILL make the 
final set available for download from EX5Tech.  I hope that we also 
have enough room to post the file in the Yahoo group Files section, 
too - which shouldn't be a problem - I think there's still plenty of 
space.

I also still intend to put together a set of custom waveshapes to 
load into the Evolver "user waveshapes" memory.  Hopefully, a utility 
for users create single cycle waveforms and do this themselves, too.  
Another Evolver owner - Vincent a.k.a. Noiseswapper - is working on a 
similar utility, and is a bit ahead of me I think!  :)  In any case, 
this will be made available at EX5Tech when finished, too.  Check out 
the following topic in the forums:
