Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted sequencer tips
but I have a few specific questions (they are REALLY basic!):

1) My sequencer speed stays the same after I change programs. Use Pgm 
Tempo is set to on, how can this happen?

2) When I attempt to use a midi keyboard to program pitch changes 
into the sequencer, only note-on is reconized not pitch change. When 
I go out of sequencer mode the pitch change is reconized. (i followed 
directions on pg. 16 of the manual) 

3) Even if I wanted to program a basic melody into the evolver 
without a keyboard, where would I start?  I don't see where pitch 
changes are programmed for each step.

I would love to delve into all the great features in this box, but I 
have learn to crawl before I can walk! 

  Thanks,
Rick
