============================================================================================= Poly Evolver Keyboard OS v.2.2/2.2/3.5 Update ReadMe File Aug-19-2010 ============================================================================================= Please read this file carefully before attempting to install the new OS. It could prevent you from experiencing a lot of aggravation and grief. Most OS updates fix only minor bugs that the vast majority of users never encounter. If you are experiencing a problem with your Poly Evolver Keyboard, please contact support@davesmithinstruments.com for help in diagnosing the cause. The OS will not "go bad" or become corrupt unless there is a hardware problem, so re-installing the OS will not help and is not recommended. A failed OS reload could leave you with a useless instrument in need of even more servicing. This particular update does add new features, so if you are updating from an earlier version, please follow the instructions carefully for a successful install. If one of the installed OS versions in your Poly Evolver is already the current version, there is no need to reinstall it. For example, if your Poly Evolver is already running Voice OS 2.2, there is no benefit to installing it again. ============================================================================================= OS Installation ============================================================================================= Go to http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/support/current_os.php for complete installation instructions. Installation is relatively easy when done properly, but can completely disable your instrument if done improperly. Read the instructions carefully and completely before attempting to install the OS. If you have any questions, please contact Technical Support at support@davesmithinstruments.com before proceeding. ============================================================================================= New Features ============================================================================================= Some new features have been added to the Poly Evolver since its initial release. For a complete description of the additions and changes, please refer to the manual addendum included with this .zip archive. ============================================================================================= Additional Notes ============================================================================================= You may have to recalibrate the pitch and mod wheels after updating the OS: 1.

Return the pitch wheel to center, and hold Reset and press 5 on the keypad. 3. Move the Mod wheel all the way on (up), and while also holding the pitch wheel all the way on, hold Reset and press 6 on the keypad.
