Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hello folks!

I'm trying to use my MC-505 as a master clock with Evolver playing its
internal sequences. On Evolver I've got MIDI Clock set to 'In' and
Trigger Select set to 'ALL' or 'Seq'. The Evolver sequencer starts
when I press Play on the 505, but the envelopes only trigger once and
then sustain until I press Stop on the 505. It seems to me that the
envelopes should trigger on each step of the sequencer, but they don't.

Has anyone else tried this? Am I overlooking something obvious?

Are you overlooking something obvious?  Maybe.  I'm not close to my 
Evolver now, but I don't think this is a problem with your MC-505 or 
your setup in general.  

I *think* this may simply be an issue of needing to change the Key 
Mode (row 1, column 8) to either LOr, hir, or LAr (Low Note, High 
Note, and Last Note, with the trailing "r" indicating that the 
envelopes are retriggered).  I'm not positive about this, though, 
because I'm not sure if the Key Mode affects the Sequencer 
retriggering as it does multiple "key on" messages.

Another possibility... Maybe you have long decays and releases on 
your filter and amp envelopes.  This could cause things to SOUND like 
the envelopes aren't retriggering, when in fact they are.  Try making 
the envelopes' decays and releases very short and see if it makes a 
difference.
