Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

As i wrote in a previous mail, i like the editor! It looks great and
seems to be very usefull for me, because of faster editing the evo.
I couldn't test the whole editor because i didn't updated my evo yet,
so it is written for OS2.0...., Will do it this weekend because the
final OS is there.
What i don't like are some Fontcolors, they are not clear to read in
some parts of the gui, maybe it is my sony-monitor, have to try it on
my notebook.

I really like the editor, its a lot of fun to edit and will give 
users a deeper understanding of the machine quicker than using the 
hardware to edit, in my opinion.
two things i would like to see if possible, one to get the gui so 
that the sequencer page and the parameter editor page can fit on one 
screen at the same time. i have a 1400 resolution screen, and they 
just don't quite fit. It seems with a little moving around, there is 
enough real estate to fit them both nicely.
The other thing is that when you start to edit a patch, the existing 
parameters are not shown, so all parameters show 0, even if they in 
reality are 14, or 64 or whatever. This makes things a bit 
confusing, i'm not sure if its possible to dump the settings from 
the evolver to the software so that you can see the parameter 
settings before you start editing.
Either way, the software is a ton of fun and i've found it very 
helpful, thanks to the programmer.

There will be a new beta up soon that should fix this problem. This 
version will also have help text, I'm helping proofread it now. 

In the final version you will be able to use both the editor and the 
Evolver's hardware interface to edit pathes. Any changes made on the 
Evolver hardware will immediately update on the Editor GUI. 

Some additional changes include the ability to directly input values 
in addition to using the GUI sliders. Also, the current active 
control in the editor will be highlighted. This is useful when you 
are using the arrow keys on the PC keyboard to adjust values. 

There's a bunch of other stuff as well, but I cannot remember them 
right now. :)

Mark has done a great job, and I agree that it makes the power of the 
Evolver much easier to get at.
