Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

hey there-

sometimes when i turn on the evolver, it seems as if the sequencers
are not targeting anything or they arent running or something. It
sometimes gets fixed if i turn it off and on.. or by random twidling
of the master knobs... does anyone have a list of default master
settings so that the evolver will play its own sequences? when i
bought the unit, the store gave me a printed out list of defaults..
which i seem to have lost - of course

thanks for any help

Mr. Lesser,

I haven't had the problem you describe, but I think I remember the
subject coming up here before.  You might try searching the list archive
or, if that doesn't turn anything up, mailing Dave himself.

I love your music, by the way - keep up the good work!

Yours,
Tom

Hmm.. ive seen the issue here raised when the midi sync is set to
anything other than out - where the sequencer doesnt run at all... but
mine is running.. but just hitting the same note over and over..

and thanks for the support sir, i need all the friends i can get :) !!

ok i got the answer from Dave. it was probably lock seq(??) - i am an
idiot, but here are the default settings for the little guy:

Program:  x
Bank:   x
Volume:  90
Transpose:  0
BPM:   x  (set by each program)
Clock Div:  x  (set by each program)
Use Pre Tempo: On
MIDI Clock:  Off
Lock Seq:  Off
Poly Chain:  Off
Input Gain:  9
Fine Tune:  0
MIDI Rec:  ALL
MIDI Xmit:  ALL
MIDI Channel: ALL
MIDI Dump:  x

It happened the same to me last week. I turned lockseq on accidentally 
while changing programs, and I though I had lost all my patches. I 
almost started to cry.

I revised the main settings (first row) on the Evolver, but when I 
saw 'lock seq' I thought 'This must be 'on' or my sequences wont work'. 
LOL! It took me some minutes before I gave it a try, turned it off and 
everything worked again!

Yeah, I know, I'm a fool, but the best thing is it happened again 
yesterday and it took me a while to figure it out again!

I'm usually grateful for this sort of scare -- it prods me into backing
up my data, which then later saves my ass when something really _does_
go wrong...  :-)

Totally agree Miles, but you had to see my face during the 10 minutes 
it took me to work it out. Man, I was completely broken, not funny at 
all (:
