Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

hey all-

I'd been meaning to post some demos here, and finally found a little
time today to do it.

these are pretty noisy and loud (i mean the evolver is noisy and
loud). Recorded straight from the back of an MEK into a Digi002 - no
efx, pres etc.. and I assure you all clipping and distortion comes
from the Evol.

2 caveats:

1) some sounds are quite loud, careful with earphones

2) please excuse my playing... some of the more lead-y sounds i needed
to actually play, and i am no good in that department.

I can post sysex for the presets if anyone wants it.

ok, have a merry one

hi,

i like your sounds.
particulary the gabbar and goingToaBadPlace ones.

if you post the sysex it would be great. i would fancy
to see the programming (and learn more tricks).

cheers  :)

Hi
Just to let you know, our apps use and save off what
ever sysex format the hardware produces. We do not
save off in a different configuration otherwise it
would be difficult for users to send the data back
from other generic programs. Ie. MidiOx.

cheers

ok

http://www.lsr1.com/evolver/xmas/lsr_evolver_group.evl

theres only like 20 presets in there right now, I had a bunch of presets that were jsut 
variations of the factory ones (damn but the factory presets were awesome) so I went thru 
and initialized all the presets. Let me know if one of these is directly ne of the originals (how 
embarrassing).

I will post more later as I weed out plagiarism is folks would like it.

Okay all I ask for is one simple thing, I want to be
able to control my Lfo Rates, Lfo amounts, and Mod
Amounts Via Midi. We are talking about 4 midi channels
for rates, 4 midi channels for lfo amounts and 3
channels for mod amounts. I can't imagine this to be
THAT difficult to include. Seriously though the 4
lfo's are one of the coolest parts about the evolver
and the modulation section is kind of (and can be)
like an LFO... I HAVE TO HAVE IT! Come on Dave you are
one of my heros, make the evolver completely
programmable via midi. I know you can do it, and if
you can't do that at least give us control over the
lfo's and mod rates and amounts. The Evolver midi
control would be almost perfect at that point anyhow.
You are a genius Dave Smith, I know you can do it.

You can control all of that now via SYSEX.  The parameters and midi code 
are well documented in the manual.

And why would you need a separate midi channel for each? They can all be 
controlled and edited via a single midi channel.

Okay, well you tell me how to get ableton to send
sysex and I will tell you that you are one of my new
heros. Also, tell me how to get my midi keyboard to
send sysex messages and that would be just fine with
me. I don't think that what I am asking for is
unreasonable.

Also sorry for my bad grammer, what I meant to say is
midi CONTROL channels.

Now are you telling me that My problems are already
solved and I don't need to be frustrated anymore that
my four LFO's are virtually impossible to edit using
my system? If so I am happy happy man and I will write
a song about your greatness.

I think you mean CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER assignments (CC#'s) for the 
lfo's, correct?  The "channels" usage is confusing since midi channels 
are an entirely different thing.  I think you can understand the 
misinterpretation.

It would probably be in your best interests to send your specific 
feature requests to dave smith himself rather than to the list, 
especially when you're addressing him directly in your message. I could 
be wrong, but I don't believe he actively reads this list.  Please 
someone pipe in if this is not true.  I would definitely send one direct 
though.  I did back in the day asking for more CC's to be implemented, 
apparently many did because we have them now.

In the meantime, try using the assignable controllers for Mod Wheel, 
Breath Controller, Foot Controller, and Expression Controller.  CC's for 
those are 1, 2, 3, and 13. And I'm sure you're aware, but just in case, 
any free sequencer tracks you aren't using....

I have a feeling that all the available CC's that could be used, were 
used now. Ask Dave and find out. And if you do get a response from Dave 
about it, please let the list know what you heard.

Hello,

the last month i got twice some patch names corrupted. a bunch of 10 or 
so (consecutive numbers) patch names have been replaced by 
"?->?->?->?->?". It happened on my poly rack, but i recall it had 
happened once on my mono evolver desktop.
I am also using the soundtower editor.

does it happen to anybody else? any idea on how i could prevent this in 
the future?

thank you

mathieu
