Record Proposed Feature or fix Details How does it work now, or is it new? Why would this help? This change does not affect previous programs because . .? How will this work with the current switches and displays? Your name or email address (optional)
1 Distortion, Output Hack, and Grunge Mod Destination. Modulate one of the the distorting functions to add more sonic evolving patches A new modulation destination. Adds to the sonic possibilities. It just adds one or a few more mod destinations. It just adds one or a few more mod destinations. ken@dangerlog.com
2 A small name for patches that is only displayed and edited in a sysex editor A small name for patches that is only displayed and edited in a sysex editor New Currently hard to keep track of patches in sysex editors The name are just stored in patch with no display. Not effected
3 Longer delay times with bandwidth reduction. Longer delay times via division of SR of delay memory. SW LP filter to help eliminate aliasing either fixed or variable. Could be locked to delay time. Think Lexicon Primetime Delay. New Longer delay times but frequency of delayed audio would have a cool lofi effect. Depending on implmentation could just be additional delay times above present limit. Depending on implmentation could just be additional delay times above present limit. dave_fulton@kopb.opb.org
4 random patch generator as used in the Prophet VS new it is great for learning (editing the patch back to some useable form), occassionally generates a gem, and it is FUN likely a "press and hold this switch then press another" Greg
5 Envelope Release Levels as Mod Destination Release levels of any of the 3 EGs can be modulated by a chosen source in positive/negative fashions. New Turn the knob by hand and see. A LFO controlling release could really enhance sound/patch complexity, especially when delay is active. Evolution. It's just another modulation destination that could be placed at end of mod dest. list like every other mod destination select knob Chris (z_flash_ram@yahoo.com)
6 Sequencer rate added to the mod destinations list Any of the mod sources can control the sequencer rate New Neat effect Add this option to the mod destination list Synthmatic@aol.com
7 Sequencer Chain Link sequences within program: 2X32 and 1X64; for 2X32 Seq 1 would use Seq 2 steps and Seq 3 would use Seq 4 steps, for 1X64 Seq1 would use all Seq steps 4X16 presently Nicer to have more steps in a sequence In Sequence Mode, press shift and row 1 button to select 4X16; press row 2 button to select 32X2, press row 3 button to select 1X64 synthmatic@aol.com
8 Sequencer program link After a sequence reaches the last step, Evolver steps to a preselected program New Expands the number of steps and steps to another program automatically In Sequencer Mode,press shift and turn pot 1 to select program. 0 or "off" shows link mode turned off. Pot 2 can select bank. Display could have the 2 far left verical segments lit to show that the program is in link mode when sequencer is turned on. is in link mode Synthmatic@aol.com
9 Sequencer one shot mode The sequencer would cycle once then stop Sequencer keeps cycling until Start/Stop pressed Another sequencer option to have Add stop option to Sequencer 1 step value list Synthmatic@aol.com
10 LFO Midi note on sync LFO cycle starts with each Midi note on New Another nice option LFO amount would have 0-99 for non-synced LFO and M0-M99 for synced LFO synthmatic@aol.com
11 LFO triggers envelopes One of the LFOs triggers the envelopes New Another nice option Add LFOs 1 through 4 to key mode list synthmatic@aol.com
12 Decimal point use Use decimal points to show stored value of parameters, Midi activity and which bank is active Decimal points are not active When programming decimal point would light when the stored progam is reached so you don't have to remember the number of the original value; decimal point blinks to show Midi in activity; one decimal lights for bank 1, two light for bank 2 etc.. Display function programmed in software Synthmatic@aol.com
13 Display updated when programming remotely When using a Midi fader box, the parameter row and column and display reflects the selected parameter's change When using a remote programmer, the parameter changes but the display and row and column lights only show the last change performed on the front panel It would be useful in programming to see the change on the panel when adjusting parameters Display function programmed in software Synthmatic@aol.com
14 "Shift" parameter for Shape Sequence option to shift the shape seq up or down by a numeric value new Would avoid a lot of knob twiddling and eventually spare a stepsequencer Wouldn't ahve an effect until programmed Don't know Stefan
15 Modulation Amounts as modulation destinations New new intersting results not programmed new mod destinations on the list Stefan
16 Modulation amounts as modulation destination Mod1-4 Amount as mod destination, or 2 of them instead of 2 of the 4 LFO amounts new, or did I overlook it ? Would allow to fade modulation in or out with controllers or envelopes No existing prog values will be changed Easy ;-) Stefan
17 FM and Ring M. External with OSC3 and 4 FM and Ring modulation are available only for the digital OSC. It would be nice to be able to use it on external audio (probably it is not feasible) It's new Expand sound mangling capabilities. It's only a new destination in the modulation matrix. Add new modulation destinations EF3 (External FM OSC3) - EF4 - ER3 (External RM OSC3) - ER4 zinoff@yahoo
18 selective encoder acceleration turn off the acceleration feature of the rotary encoders for enumerated parameters (source/destination/shape etc.) encoders skip steps if they are spun quickly the acceleration makes it hard to find sources/destinations/shapes in the long lists, i often skip past the value i'm looking for it is only an interface change it would have no effect

Move to quarantaine
