Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I wanted to note that a new feature request table is available that 
sets forth the feature request criteria requested by Dave awhile ago. 
I see 4 new feature requests and they all are great! Check them out 
and add your too. You never know when Dave will get the urge to code 
a new O.S. I will surely pass all this information on:

Great - I added a few things.... 8)

Cool - Thanks Ravi

I added my "shift mode" sequencer ideas - chained sequences.

Cool! I should add my "patch select" idea that I already detailed to Dave a 
month or so ago. Basically speaking, my idea is that after highlighting the 
main row (just prior to changing a patch) if one holds shift while turning 
either the patch or bank knob, then the display begins to flash and shows 
the new patch that you are choosing but Evolver doesn't actually change to 
that patch until you hit the main button. In this way, one can scroll to a 
new patch while playing another and not have to listen to anything in 
between. The killer feature to all of this is the hope that if a sequence in 
the the original patch is playing, then when you "execute" the switch to the 
new chosen patch, the switch will not occur until the RST of track 1 and 
then will continue to play the sequence in the chosen track. In this way one 
can set up "patterns" and switch them on the fly, sort of like a groovebox. 
Anyway I detailed it according to Dave's requested format and it looks good 
to me. Hopefully it will see the light of day.

That IS cool.  And it *would* be like a little groove box.  BUT... it 
would FORCE you to "play" the Evolver, rather than pre-programming 
everything.  I may be in a minority, but I think that's a GOOD thing 
for live performance.

Of course, we play grooveboxes. Else we press play on the CD player and 
bounce around . . . :)

Additionally I asked Dave to spec it so that if the sequencer were running 
when a midi patch change command came in then the patch would change upon 
the end of the running sequencer and start the new patches sequence playing, 
holding the tempo. This way the evoler could be nicely synced to a real 
groovebox or sequencer and do it's thing. It remains to be seen whether we 
will get this, but personally I would love to play one or two of my Evolvers 
along with a groovebox live even if I had to manually change the patches 
myself. And then theirs my Notron . . . egad I haven't even begu to explore 
Notron+Evolver.

hey, that is a good idea.  here is mine, that actually
CAME TO ME IN A DREAM last night!

I was at the beach and a guy had a keyboard setup on it.  
His left hand on the keyboard selected a patch, while his
right hand played notes in that patch.  Since he was
able to very quickly select different patches, he could
play extremely complex and beautiful sounding passages.

I'll go post my idea, but repeat it here in case anyone has
any refinements:

***Allow a range of notes, e.g. left-hand, to select the patch #. ***

An interesting idea in general, to set aside 10 low midi notes to act as a 
keypad to type in patch numbers. Not sure it would fly in an evolver or any 
synth or have to, but it would be cool if a midi controller did that and 
merely sent out the patch change messages. Actually didn't some casios way 
back when have the keys select patches?
