Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

heya all-

i've been reading this forum for a while now but this is the first 
time i decided to chime in.  i own the tabletop evolver and like a 
few others here, got a BCR to give myself some additional control 
over it.  there was one motivating factor that i decided to get a 
BCR (i have the PC editor as well) and that is you can not turn 2 
rotary knobs on the evolver faceplate at the same time.  sure you 
can turn em, but the evolver only responds to the knob you started 
turning first.  no appreciable sound differance comes immediatly 
from the other knob.  this is most noticibally frustrating when 
turning the filter freq and resonance knobs at the same time.  so 
enter the midi control which works fine...  anyway i figure i made 
pretty good use out of the midi implementation available in the 3.0 
update.  things lay out pretty logically and it all labels great 
with some masking tape, but what i noticed after i had my BCR 
programmed is that the 3.0 update manual lists midi CC number #59 
for the both the NOISE LEVEL and the FILTER AUDIO MOD.  is this 
something i am missing?  i thought it may be a misprint but i'd ask 
the guru's first.  

this is a great message board and have found many helpful insights 
into programming my new synth.  i even added a couple suggestions to 
the latest feature request table.  keep up the nice work fellas!

I noticed this too, and it is what I've found other users 
affectionately refer to as a 'Daveism'.  I think as long as we keep 
Dave fed on a steady stream of ICs (ha! good one Stefan), we'll be 
able to keep the Daveisms to a minimum.  In this case, and with a 
little deductive reasoning, it was confirmed that CC#51 controlled 
Noise Level. (99% sure, don't have my Evolver in front of me).

In a completely unrelated matter....  what does one call a collection 
of Evolver?  Evolvers doesn't quite sound right...  Evolven?  
Evolvi?  We have so many different names to characterize groups of 
animals (school of fish, flock of seagulls(sic!), murder of crow), it 
would seem that these beasts should have a name fitting.  Maybe a 
user-poll?  Perhaps a clamor of Evolver?
