Re: final question, sequencer

2003-04-29 by ski_ex5tech

Hey, don't apologize for asking questions!  That's what we're all 
here for.

So you've set the sequencer step values to zero.  Doesn't matter that 
they're set to zero, because you've turned the Destinations to OFF 
for tracks 1-4, right?  Also doesn't matter that there's a rest on 
step 5.  Now you're wondering why the Evolver makes sounds when you 
hit the sequencer start button?  That's easy.  Each step in the 
sequencer triggers the envelopes (except steps that are programmed 
OFF for rests).  When the envelopes are triggered, it's just as if 
you'd hit a key on a MIDI keyboard connected to your Evolver.  
Perfectly normal behavior.

One other sequencer related item...

In addition to the 4 sequencer destinations (for which any modulation 
destination can be chosen), the sequencer can also control the 
selected waveshape of the two digital oscillators.  Look in the lower 
half of row 2, columns 3 and 7, for the "Shape Seq" parameter.

Have fun!
