Re: Evolver sequencer reset problem

2008-01-03 by Esef

Thanks for checking John!

There are 2 other weird things i'd like to have confirmed before i contact DSI.

- Go to Trigger Select and choose the last mode "NnC" (each incoming midi note will 
advance the sequencer one step). Start the sequencer and send a midi note.
Notice how it doesn't play step 1. Instead it starts with step 2.

- the Key Mode parameter (row 1, shift, knob 8) has 6 different modes (see manual page 
43). But when i keep turning the knob it cycles through the 6 options 4 times before it 
stops. The cycle of 4 times the same parameters doesn't make any sense to me.
