Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

It sounds like you are simply programming multiple sequencer tracks in 'PROGRAM' mode. If you want to fire multiple voices via the sequencer, you have to be in 'COMBO' mode. The sequencer in 'PROGRAM' mode doesn't work in a polyphonic manner, mono only - quite lame if you ask me, that should have been configurable - I mean seriously, how difficult would it have been to program the sequencer to fire a new voice on each step in program mode and then to disable that feature in combo mode?

From page 39 of the manual,
"In Program mode, only voice 1 plays the sequence (if one is programmed); the other 
3 voices are still controlled via the keyboard. In Combo mode, each Part can have the 
sequencer individually enabled or disabled.  "

Couple other things to note about the sequencer
-in program mode, you have to cycle through the voices to get back to voice number one to gate the sequencer depending on the trigger mode and key mode - THIS SUCKS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A BUG!
-Can't tie steps together
-Can't alter gate length (altering clock speed per step is not quite the same thing)

Think of it this way. The Polyevolver is a 4 voice polyphonic instrument with 4 monophonic 4 track 16 step sequencers.

p.s. if DSI is even reading this... I would pay for a mk2 OS upgrade for the polyevolver..... this is a great instrument, but it would be absolutely f*cking amazing if the poly part were spruced up. The way it operates, it seems as if the poly part to the evolver were simply an afterthought (which I'm sure it was).
