No sound from sequencer

No sound from sequencer

2007-01-15 by Matthew Calhoun

Hello,

I just bought a used desktop Evolver. I tried following the quick  
start instructions in the manual, but the unit must not be in its  
default state, because I don't get any sound out. Well ok, I have  
gotten one sound: a continuous sine-like tone from program 128 of  
bank 1. But from the reading I've done so far it seems the lights  
should start indicating sequencer steps after I hit the start button,  
but this also does not happen. The light above the start/stop button  
comes on, but the lights under numbers 1-8 don't do anything.

I've been reading the manual and tweaking knobs, but so far I haven't  
figured it out. I will start reading Anu's guide tomorrow, but in the  
meantime, can anyone offer any suggestions as to what I might be  
doing wrong? Is there any way to reset everything to default?

And another question: how can I tell what OS version is installed?

Thanks,
Matt
