Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

AHAHAAHAHAH! ARE YOU F'ING SERIOUS!?!

When people asked DSI to incorporate that in the PolyEvolvers he said flat out that he didn't want to incorporate anything like that in the the OS's because people may make mistakes, or get confused, when saving their changes. I think it is absolutely insane that he would flat out say that about a current product and then incorporate those changes in a new *different* product. ESPECIALLY when the code is probably more than likely mostly portable from one DSI synth to the next. Unbelievable.

After hearing this, I will no longer purchase a new DSI product again. Seriously Ravi, thank you for bringing that to light. You drove in the final nail for me. Oh and btw I actually liked a number of patches on the evolver series. Good work!

You can't save individual patch when you are in combo mode with PEK ?
Really ? This is crazy...

The only synth i've seen doing well with patch and combo is Nord Modular
G2. Clavia find the smartest solution : a combo store all the patch data
in it's own memory. All the 4 patch in it's own memory ! Like that you
can tweak all you want to tweak, everything is saved in this combo and
you don't erase original patch.

And you know what ? It's fucking cool. You don't have to think about "oh
my go maybe i'm erasing a good patch". It's the way to go, but i never
see that again in any modern synth. Weird.

By the way, i like the idea to pay someone to have a new OS, it's fare
for the both side. DSI take some times to work on it, and we pay for the
work. Fare. 50 euros ? OK go ! I love this synth so mutch, it's not a
problem.
