Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Anybody know the status of this? It was supposed to be out sometime 
this month, if I remember correctly. Not that I'm holding my breath or 
anything ...

Good question. I've had no luck with the Soundtower editor. They tell 
me that my M-Audio Audiophile 2496 has a bad driver, yet the 
Soundtower Alesis QS editor works fine with my QS6.2 and the same 
soundcard.

Hi Everyone,

First off, my apologies for not noticing this thread sooner- 
Apparently I have been 'Hard Bouncing' since Dec 7th and none of 
this forum's posts made it to my mailbox since then. I'm back in the 
loop now, however.

Having just read through this thread's posts, I'd like to mention 
the following:

1. Vyzor Evolver will ship later this month.

2. It supports Version 2.0 of the Evo OS, although we will make sure 
it works with Version 3.0 desktop Evolvers as well.

3. It is cross platform: PC Win 2k/XP & Mac OS X 

4. The price of Vyzor Evolver is $79 USD, with a $20 Crossgrade 
discount for registered ST users.

5. Vyzor PolyEvolver will ship in February. It supports Evolver OS 
Version 3, and includes Poly-specific editing features. This product 
will also work with Desktop Evolvers running V.3.

6. The price of Vyzor PolyEvolver is $99 USD, with a $20 Crossgrade 
discount for registered ST users. Users of Vyzor Evolver will be 
eligible to upgrade to Vyzor PolyEvolver for $20 USD.

7. All Vyzors run stand-alone and as VST plug-ins with full 
automation within DAWs that support VST. These products will be 
available from our webstore as direct downloads.

8. Derek from Sound Tower is correct when he flags the older MOTU 
parallel port interfaces as being problematic for SysEx 
editor/instrument communications. We editor developers are at the 
mercy of the interface manufacturer's driver support in situations 
like this, and unfortunately some of the older interface/driver 
combos are simply unable to handle heavy SysEx streams - They're 
fine for note, CC and other traffic, but their handling of SysEx is 
not always perfect. Will Vyzor Evolver work where ST does not? You 
can only try it and find out, since we don't have that particular 
model interface here to test with. If you encounter issues, Psicraft 
will address them to your satisfaction one way or the other.

Best regards,

Tony

What should an owner of 2 Mono Evolvers with OS 3.0 polyphonically 
linked together do? 

Get the December release?  or wait for the Poly-Release?? 


Also I think I read last Spring in this forum that the Vyzor Evo 
editor was based on SoundQuest technology under the covers, meanwhile 
Squest has recently confirmed they are working on an Evo template in 
their product as a priced add-on , so if I am a Soundquest owner, 
should I just wait for them, or is the Vyzor product truly a separate 
product now unrelated to SoundQuest   I'll gladly pay for software I 
need but I really hate to pay twice.

Will the psicraft editor bolt into midiquest like the vc-1 editor does?
