Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I'm inclined to agree with Rory and DSI on this. Whilst there are many more features that "would be nice if", and *could* be added, at some point you have to say that the product is finished and send it out of the door. The alternative is bankruptcy, which has always been a very real possibility for synth companies. Even the big names in the industry like Bob Moog, Alan Pearlman, and Dave Smith himself have all gone out of business.

So it could be done, but there's no way I'm expecting to see it happen. Instead of asking "What's the reason why they haven't done this?" you need to ask "Why would they do this?"

There is a whole list of stuff that has been sent to DSI many times since I've been on this list (which has been a number of years now). DSI has officially responded once that the evolver is a finished/complete product, or something like that - i.e. no updates.

Doesn't seem like it couldn't be added. Anyone know the reason for this? It would rule if this could be fixed, as of right now it's pretty limiting as far as sequencing other outboard gear.
