Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

may i suggest the yamaha rm1x + paper + Pencil


before i sold my evo, i i drew a one octave keyboard on a sheet of 
paper. below each white key and above each black key, i wrote the 
key's midi note number. so a cm7 was no longer just c-d#-g-a#. it was 
00-06-14-20. to raise the pitch an octave, i just added 24 to the 
midi note number. soon i became adept at mentally playing my one-
octave paper keyboard and dialing up the notes in the sequencer.

if i ever have the pleasure of owning an evo again, i will program my 
melodies for each osc into my rm1x. It thinks of a pattern 
as having 16 different sections, each section with a different 
pattern length if i want. so i could have a 4-bar section A, a 16-bar 
section B, a 64-bar section C and so forth. now, press play, then 
press the section that i want to play -- in any order. A-C-C-B, for 
instance.

that's what i plan to do when i get another evolver. i upgraded my 
desktop evolver only to ver 2.0 before i sold it. if i get another 
evolver (i'm debating between the MEK, a radias and a monomachine -- 
the latter two not for their sounds but for what they can do to 
external gear such as my jp-6), i plan to use the method i just 
described to trigger the MEK's pitches while its internal sequencers 
modulate other parameters. should be awesome.

does this sound like a solution for you?
