Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Sorry if this question has been asked before.
I'm using Cakewalk Sonar2XL as sequencer with Evolver. Could 
someone explain how to send patch change message to Evolver. Right 
now I have to turn the knob manually. I tried setting bank and patch 
number on the track but the patches number on the Evolver just don't 
seem to correspond with the selected patch. Has anyone created 
instrument definition for Evolver that can be downloaded.

I don't have Sonar.  However, changing programs (a.k.a. patches) 
should be a simple matter of sending the appropriate System Exclusive 
(SysEx) message from your sequencer.

In version 1.01 of the owners manual, in the "System Exclusive 
Messages / Main Parameters" section on page 41, you can find the 
SysEx string that you need to send the Evolver in order to change 
programs.  The "Main Parameter Number" in this case will be "0" (as 
per page 27).  The "Parameter Values" will be the desired 
bank/program number.

You may have a little homework to do if you've never worked with 
binary and hex numbers, and you'll probably want a hexadecimal editor 
for the job (rather than a plain text editor).  Sorry, but it's tough 
to tell your level of experience based on your message.  Hope this 
helps.
