Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi, I was using my evolver with my midi keyboard. I started looking 
the sounds on bank 2 (the ones meant for keyboard playing) and I cant 
make the evolver react when a second note is pressed while a first 
one is still on. I cant make it glide. It will ignore all notes until 
I let it go any previous notes. 

I've tried different settings (trigger select, keymode, etc...) but I 
cant find a way to make the typical 'mono lead' that glides as notes 
are played. My evolver just ignores any second notes if a key is 
previously pressed, so I cant make any lead sounds. 

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Not sure what's up -- I have no problems playing "typical" lead sounds
as long as the trigger type is set to "LA" or "LAr"; the Evolver
definitely deals with it correctly.  Many of the preset do _not_ use
those settings though...

And also make sure you haven't put the Evolver in Poly-mode (which makes the Evo send all notes other than the first one thru the MIDI out). I accidently did it once and experienced the same behaviour as you do...

Hey guys, thanks for the suggestions! Its been solved.

Christian was right: it was on poly mode. Duh! Its a second hand 
evolver, so I suppose the last owner set it like that. Stupid me, I 
was going literally mad without knowing what to do! lol

Anyways, thanks for the help!
