Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi Derek/Soundtower,

This are my first impressions:

1. Great to see that you have implemented the new signalflow layout but
if you haved tested it on a 15" screen you will see that part of the  
layout is
outside the screen and you have to scroll to see it. The scroll  
function in the
edit window doesn´t even work with my MacbookPro mousepad. I made a
new layout sketch (attached to this mail) that fits a 15" screen by  
rearanging
parts to group them so they, in my opinion, make sense.

2. Rotating the knobs with the mouse is frustrating. I can´t just  
klick and drag
the mouse up and down to change the value. I have to rotate around the  
knob
center to do it. Not that user friendly.

3. I would like to see drop manues on, for ex. destination windows,  
instead of the
separate window we have had on previous versions.

4. Sorry to pick on this, but the overall graphical implementation,  
for ex. the knobs
and the brown envelopes in the signalflow layout doesn´t look fresh to  
me. It´s 2008
and the evolver isn´t a retro synth. And you even forgot both the  
evolver and
dave smith logo.

Looking forward to the finnished product,

Best
Magnus
