Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Whoops...  Sorry about that!  I misunderstood.  Given your history 
with the Nord and the Virus, you'll catch on quickly.

Regarding the sequencer sending MIDI data... I was so wrapped up in 
creating sounds/sequences for the Evolver that I never tested this 
myself.  I did all my work on pre-production unit #0002, but I now 
have a regular production unit (#0009).  Anyway, I'll have to give it 
a try, though it sounds like I'm going to find out that the answer 
is "no".
