Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Guys ('n' Gals!), is everyone using midiOX to backup patches? I'm finding it
completely incomprehensible... trying to save a log or whatever the hell
they call it but nothing happening... bizzare app if u ask me

is there an easier way to backup my existing patches and try out the
Evolutionaries set - don't want to lose my own patches!

Richard

Richard, give MIDI OX a chance.  It's a complex tool, and takes a 
little practice and understanding, but I found it to be simply 
indispensible.

There are some detailed step by step instructions for using MIDI OX 
with your Evolver over at EX5Tech at the link below:

Using MIDI-OX to Save & Load Evolver Patches: 
http://www.ex5tech.com/ex5ubb_cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?
ubb=get_topic&f=23&t=000013

(Note:  If your email client or the Yahoo group splits the link above 
onto two lines, you may need to copy/paste the link into your browser 
address bar.)

The procedure is really quite easy.  Maybe not *intuitive*, but 
definitely easy once you see how it's done.

Hope that helps.
