Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi, just purchased unit #766 and although the sequences and sounds 
are very impressive I admit I'm stumped when dealing with MIDI and 
this thing.  I'm attempting to play individual notes on E via MIDI 
from my Nord Modular KB, and for the life of me I cannot get Evolver 
to produce any notes/sounds when triggered from the keyboard.  I've 
read the sections of the manual regading MIDI send/recieve and the 
Key off /transpose parameter, all's set right (I think) and I'm still 
ferklempt (this is a daunting interface at first, and the manual's no 
peach either.)

The Nord is set to local control on, send MIDI on all channels.  Yes 
the MIDI cable is plugged out/in right.  Yes I'm on the bank(s) with 
single tones, not sequences.  I even hooked E up to another board 
that transmits MIDI notes, and nothing.  HELP!

Thanks in advance 3r2k

just a thought... I did something similar a couple of weeks ago and was
stumped for a few minutes. it turned out that I had accidentally changed
the value for the *main* MIDI Rec knob. so check that out; it's in the
main menu and I believe that having it set at "all" should do what you
want it to.

Tks Joe, but I'm having so much pure anadigital bliss/fun with the 
sequences that KB control is the last thing on my mind right now.    
I also have a email to DSI in and I hear he's good at responding.  
Probably something bloody obvious.  Sequence 29 is a martial hoot! JB
