Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Sorry Ravi, maybe you didn't read into the message that well, but I 
was looking for a quick, convenient fix, no matter how unrealistic 
that may be!












;)

Well email dave and tell him your gonna switch the button yourself.  I'd be 
really surprised if he doesn't back you up on it and would probably still 
hold the warranty valid as long as you don't do anything obviously stupid.  
Assuming you don't just randomly poke at things with the solder, i doubt 
you'd do too much damage switching one switch.  Dave will probably be happy 
cause its one less evolver he needs to fix or worry about!

Hehe, it was sarcasm, Ravi. Lighten up! It was good advice, I just 
want to have my cake and eat it too.

Story about the button caps - my first Evolver had an "accident" that 
I first thought was intentional. Those little black button caps 
basically snap on to their posts, and on my unit, the first button in 
the parameter matrix (row 1) was raised up higher than all the rest. 
I figured this was done on purpose, so as to be able to find Row 1 
quickly just by feeling instead of looking, like the raised bumps on 
a computer keyboard or number pad. But when I switched my board out 
with a new one, I noticed that all the buttons were the same height. 
I looked again at my old board and gave the Row 1 button a harder-
than-normal push and the button cap snapped on to the post all the 
way, like it should have been in the first place.

Anyway, the long story was to bring me to this: if you feel like 
messing with it yourself, pull the button cap off (you'll have to 
remove the board first of course) and take a look underneath to see 
if there is something that can be cleaned. I don't know if there is 
or not because I didn't look at mine that closely...but perhaps it's 
just a bad contact, and a q-tip will be easier than a soldering iron.

hey, you could always work on beats/accompanying music for your
songs then when it comes back from repair just drop it in and go...!
