Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

What's your weekend looking like?  Is everyone going to be around 
this weekend, and will you have the opportunity to spend some quality 
time with your Evolvers?  Also, does everyone have MIDIOX, or some 
other means to load files into their Evolvers?

Just curious...

:D

Wow, Craig, I'm hugely disappointed to hear that.  You did some VERY 
nice work with your adaptation of "Sweet Child O' Mine" on the Evo.  
That's one of my favorite sequences.

I'm not a SoundDiver (or anything emagic) fan at all - long story - 
but have you tried the SoundDiver editor for the Evo?  Maybe that 
would let you "see" the patches the way you like.

I'm in the same boat as well.... Every time I plan to work with the 
Evo I end up on the Virus b, XTk, NL2... or another knob laden 
synth. 

Every time I work with the Evo at some point I grab and twist a knob 
that is set to the wrong row. So then it becomes.... "ok, up the 
filter cutoff, lets see, which row is selected, oops wrong one, ok 
row selected, now find the knob.... ok cutoff is up." It really 
hinders my creative flow. 

I don't own SoundDiver, hopefully someone creates a dedicated 
editor. 

But..... If I had a new file to send to the Evo this weekend maybe I 
would spend some time with it!!!!

Sayer

Sayer, I understand, because I went through a period where I did the 
same thing quite frequently, and accidentally adjust the wrong 
parameter and ruin an editing session.  I almost never have that 
problem anymore, and I attribute that to two things:

1. The position and placement of my Evo was previously such that my 
hand would block my vision from a big part of the front panel 
whenever I was grabbing a knob to edit.  In particular, the vertical 
strip of "active row indicator" LED's on the left was blocked.  I 
repositioned the unit to avoid that problem, and it helped a LOT.

2. Experience (read that "spending too much time") with programming 
the Evo yields much better familiarity with the front panel layout.  
It also made me develop a little more mental discipline while 
editing;  I now always give a quick visual check of the "row 
indicator" LED's prior to tweaking a knob, yet I don't feel like I'm 
being slowed down.

All that said... YES, a big knob/slider/switch studded panel would be 
wonderful.  Of course, as recently discussed in another thread, that 
would result in a significantly higher price, and a much larger box.  
You get some, you give some!  ;)

I wouldn't mind a dedicated software editor myself.  Maybe I'll 
program one someday, because I won't buy an emagic product due to 
problems I had with them even *before* they decided to cease 
development and support of their Windows products.  I've been meaning 
to try the MIDI Quest editor/librarian, though.  Maybe it would be a 
good alternative.  

Another possibility would be to get a hardware control surface (like 
a Phat Boy on steroids), but I don't think anything out there has 
enough knobs to cover most of Evo's functions.  Actually, I don't 
think TWO of anything out there has enough knobs!  ;)  Let's see... 
you have 8 editing rows times 8 knobs times 2 for the shift function, 
which gives you *128* parms.  Then you have the top row, which adds 
another *16* parms.  Then you have to add the sequencer mode, which 
is an 8x8 matrix for another *64* parms.  So that's 128 + 16 + 64 = 
208 knobs that you would need on a hardware controller in order to 
have a knob for every function.  Did I miss any?  Oh, yeah, and you'd 
need two buttons for the sequencer start/stop and reset functions.  ;)

Tell me THAT wouldn't be cool... a polyphonic "Evolver KB5" keyboard 
synth with 208 knobs on the front panel!  Ha!  Truth be told, I'd 
actually *like* to have *some* of the knobs serve muliple (but 
related) functions - such as having just 16 knobs for the sequencer, 
with a button or switch to select between editing tracks 1 through 4.

the Doepfer Drehbank has 64 knobs. so you can assign a significant
number of the Evo's parameters to it (in fact, someone in here has one
and mentioned doing this in another thread). *however* it costs as much
as a new Evolver :-) for me, that would be the big issue: do I want more
control or more sound/polyphony?

I don't think that the sequencer values are MIDI-editable, are they?

there has been one for some time from Matthew G. Davidson.

Hmmm... I should have said PC based. You had me hopeful there for a 
minute or two! :)

Oh well, your loss.....

Though I do agree that it's not quite as easy to program as I'd like either,
I think you definately get out what you put in, and if you make the time to
adapt to it's idiosyncracies, you can come up with some great sounds.... the
demo mp3s put out by various list members are testament to that.

I'm not sure how busy you are, but if you put aside a week of spare time to
play with the evolver, and *just* concentrate on the evolver, it could be
really worth it! I mean you've already invested $500, so how about you
invest a little time too.

But *damn* I wish it had a 16x2 or 20x2 LCD.... I would have gladly paid the
extra $30-50 or so it would have cost on the final price, just to have a
slightly less terse description of what I was editing, and to have patch
names.
:-(

New on the list here. Would  you care to post a link to the editor?
It's one of the reasons I havn't purchased an Evolver at this time.
Thanks.


Mo

Well, although I haven't tried it yet myself, some synths (at least my 
JP8080) have the ability to remap out the midi data output from the midi out 
as a result of moving their controls. I think I could set up my jp8080 such 
that all the functions would correstpond to the evolver and control it. Sure 
it wouldn't be as comprehensive as all the evolver functions, but it would 
cover the basics pretty well. I wonder if a knob laden synth like the virus 
can do that?  If it can't I am sure you can place a computer with some 
software inbetween any synth that sends out controller data from its surface 
and the evolver to give it more meaningful control than say 64 knobs on a 
box. Just an idea.

Well, my weekend is drifting aimlessly by.... should I expect

Hooowee!  Nothing like laying the guilt trip on me (though I probably 
deserve it)!  ;)  I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying!  Of course, if SOME 
people hadn't given me dozens of items without names...  ;)

Hi

new member here. anyone know how to load (2003 soundset sysex) from mac?
I've been able to load the original banks from the midi files provided 
on the site from digital performer.
new  to DP4.1 and evolver.

many thanks

spectro52

Kevin, I don't currently have a Mac, but you *should* be able to open 
the .syx (SysEx) file with most any sequencer, and send it to the 
Evolver over MIDI.  Take a look through the menus in Performer, or 
hit the owner's manual and look for "sysex".  Let us know how it goes.

hey ski, I don't know if you thought this was me or

Evolver over MIDI.  Take a look through the menus in
Performer, or 
hit the owner's manual and look for "sysex".  Let us
know how it goes.

maybe you guys were related, though!  ;)

Hi Ski,

I tried earlier in the day to load sysex into DP4, no luck there. 
consulted owners manual could not find anything useful  there either, 
so I decided to give you guys a mail. I then found 'SysEx 48' by Steve 
Grace on archive CD this wouldn't work under Mac OS 9.2 (memory error). 
Finally I found  (freeware) 'SysExLibrarian' by Kurt Revis at 
http://www.snoize.com this is a OSX utility and  worked just fine. Now 
I can sit back and have a good listen to the 2003 Sound Set you guys 
have been creating. I think evolver sounds great, though I'm still 
scratching the surface as regards programming my own sounds/sequences.
By the way I think the evolver interface seems user-friendly, except 
for the somewhat cryptic display.

Many Thanks

Kevin (spectro52)

Wow, I'm shocked that Performer won't work with a SysEx file.  That's 
almost unbelievable!  It's not as if it is a cheap shareware app, or 
a brand new app that hasn't had time to mature.  Oh well.  Glad you 
found that "SysExLibrarian" by Kurt Revis.  Everybody will have to 
keep that one in mind the next time this issue pops up with a Mac 
user.  Thanks!

hehe... figures... two guys with similar handles and
both named kevin. especially in light of the fact that
ski and I were discussing privately the issue of
loading sys-ex files in soft sequencers earlier this
week. the internet is making this world too small ;-)

cheers,
kevin/spectralab

Just writing to thank everyone involved with producing 2003 Sound Set.


footnote:

DP 4.1 supports sysex and can transmit/edit etc.
I just couldn't find a way to import/load sysex files.
