Elektron Musical Instruments

Thanks for the help Joe,

About parLocks copy, you were right about RTFM ;)
For some reason (probably drugs) i could not find
the info.

About the program changes, MD is on  "sync out"
and Evolver on "Midi Clock IN" position.
The program change happens about a step too late.
No matter what i try, it seems it's just impossible to use
Evolver's sequenced programs in sync with other modules.
Unusable in  Live situation.

I emailed Dave about this, he told me the "it's on the list
and will likely be implemented. No dates set yet for new
versions, but hopefully something will get out eventually"

I really hoped the MD could take care of this problem,
i guess not.

I heard of others having this problem with the Evolver.  So I don't
think it's an MD timing issue.  Basically, the Evolver wasn't made to
be used in song mode, it seems.

But what's happening?  Is the Evolver sequencer getting completely out
of sync timewise?  Or does the program change message just arrive a
step too late?

Also, are you positive that the Evolver is using external clock (and
that the MD is transmitting it)?  Because if it's just receiving
start/stop messages (and the program changes) and then using its own
clock, it will get out of sync.

It does seem weird that he didn't include better MIDI functionality,
given that he helped create some of the original MIDI-capable
instruments. Maybe in an OS update?  Either way, the Evolver still
does a hell of a lot for what it is.

Sheesh!  RTFM! :-)

In grid mode: hold the source key and press REC (to copy it); then
hold the destination key and press PLAY (to paste the source to it).
For more info, check manual pages 38 and 39.


Joe.
