Re: Digital Waveform Types

2003-01-04 by Ski <ex5tech@excite.com>

Wow.  Nice job, Chris.  I was wondering about the same thing when I 
was programming presets on an Evolver beta unit.  It really would 
have been nice to have had a list of all the waveforms along with a 
description of each!  Hope you don't mind, but I posted a copy of 
your note in the Evolver forum at EX5Tech - link:

Thanks!
