Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Paul,

the sequencer values are relative to the values preselected with the knobs. 
It would indeed simplify a few things if there were positive and negative 
step values, but there are several workarounds.
If you want to have positive and negative step amounts for resonance, set 
resonance to zero and all steps to the amount that resonance had before. Or 
use one of the modulators with a sequencer as source with full negative 
amount. You'll have negative step values then, though unipolar again ;)

For the sequencer works per voice you'll have identic steps on all voices 
only if you play all notes exactly at the same time. there is no other way 
to let all 8 4-track sequenzers march in synchronisation than to trigger 
them by a note on at the same time.

Is it OK to talk P08 here?

I'm having a lot of fun with mine but there are a few things I'd like
to understand better. Mostly related to the sequencer - I'm trying to
work out whether it works in an absolute or relative way. Say you
sequence resonance, does each step set the absolute resonance
overriding the ordinary res setting completely? If it were relative
I'd expect positive and negative modulation amounts. I find that it
seems to be a mixture of absolute and relative cos the resonance
control still works whilst being sequenced...

Anyone know the answer?

Similarly, I can sequence VCA level but this doesn't work like
turning the VCA level control. The control appears to apply to all
notes, the sequencer sequences individual notes - so when you set
values that way followed by values of zero, the zero doesn't silence
ALL held notes. Does that make sense?

Cheers,
Paul
