Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Thanks Derek for your gracious response.
Could you tell it was 3:00 am when I posted ?
Once I grasp the utility of the program, perhaps I'll offer specific
suggestions....not because I'm any sort of expert in that area,
but because I'll have had a "run around the track" with it.

I scanned through the PDF, and the only reference I could find about
importing a sysex file, is in the "Update OS" feature.
Am I mistaken? Is there another way?
Could a sysex file containing just banks or patches be run through the
"Update OS" utility, without getting any OS files involved?

I have a hunch (not tried it yet) that a way it can be done, is to
transfer new sysex banks/patches to the evolver by using midiOX first,
then open SoundEditor and transfer the (now new) evolver banks into
SoundEditor, and saving those banks using SoundEditor's file
systems/extension types. (?)

Derek,
I am trying to import ".syx" files. The most common file type
available for users banks / extra evolver banks.
I believe there is no issue here regarding the other file types.
The documentation covers those, but not sysex types.

hi,

not sure if it has been mentioned already... for sysex banks you can
also use the bank manager. convenient for previewing sounds without
uploading the whole bank.

File -> Program Librarian -> Librarian (right side) -> Load evolver file
-> choose "sysex" in the "file type" dropdown.

hope this help
cheers
