Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I know I may be overlooking something stupid, but I can't seem to get 
any external sounds through to be processed by the Evolver. I turned 
up the necessary gains, but still, no sound. What am I doing wrong? 
Please help. 

Thanks,

Hmmm.  What kind of sound source?  I don't believe the Evolver has a 
pre-amp, so if your trying to use a microphone, you'll need to run it 
through a preamp first.  Otherwise, check to make sure that the 
Filter is all the way open, and that the External Input gain is up.

If that doesn't work, maybe a few more details on the setup your 
using?

Off the top of my head, I'd guess the VCA envelope is the culprit.  You  
need to either hold down a key to apply the envelope or otherwise adjust  
the amount/level parameters such that the VCA is "open" to let your  
external input through.

I got it to work. It ended up being a setting on my other instrument 
that was sending the sound through it's other inputs rather the the 
main inputs. Thanks for your help anyways.
