Re: [Evolver] why are there two controls for clock divide and BPM?

2003-09-20 by Richard

how would a shape seq for osc1 and 2 work joe? Could it do anything
different from just modulating the PWM with a seq?

It'd be lovely to see a new feature but I  suspect for Dave its more a
matter of the limiatations of the dsp and other resources available - I
imagine if there was the potential to do something serious with those two
knobs he's have done it... but we can dream!
