Desktop Evolver Upgrade problem

Desktop Evolver Upgrade problem

2010-01-04 by locatemodule

Hi All,

Got the 3.0 chip upgrade for my desktop Evolver (sn# 669) downloaded the appropriate update for my serial number, but have not been able to load the sysex update file into the synth. I have Logic Pro 8 and Live 7, but can't seem to get either one to recognize / import the file. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe Logic Pro 8 and Live 7 aren't able to read sysex files or maybe there is different way to import the file into those programs? Not sure, but would be great if I could get this done!

Any help / suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

David

just to clarify a bit, use SysExLib to send the update file directly to your devo, no need to go thru a DAW at all.

SysExLib is also a great tool to store and manage your devo patches (or any piece of midi hardware for that matter).

good luck!


btw, two other great mac tools i can't live without:

MidiMonitor (just displays midi streams, great for troubleshooting)

http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/


and MidiPipe (very similar to MidiOx/Yoke on PC, tweak midi streams realtime, sooooo useful!)

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
