Yes.

 

Also, the editor software from Psicraft is a bit sketchy. I'd find that
patches would default to some blank state when I was editing them. This
contributed to making combo mode a really frustrating experience.

Is that the only problem? That's actually not too bad.

Also sounds like something that could be sorted with an OS update. I
know DSI like to take their time with those though.

So you can have four patches on different MIDI channels with different
clock divide values and so on?

Sure Bill.

 

The PER manual states that Poly Evolvers used in combo mode are like
having four Mono Evolvers. This implies that we can assign four parts to
their own midi channel then make independent program changes on each
channel, just like every other multitimbral synth on the planet. This is
not what happens. When you send a program change from a sequencer to one
of the channels, the main patch changes and you are often taken out of
combo mode. The only way to use Combo mode with a song is to save a
combo patch with the four parts set to the programs you want. This is an
annoyance if you prefer to assign patch changes from a sequencer. You
may have a different methodology when creating music so it may not be a
problem for you.

Hi Iain,

Do you mind going into more detail about the prob's with how combo mode
was used? I'd really appreciate it as it's so hard to tell without
having one to mess around with.

Thanks,

Bill
