Re: Sequencer Destinations

Interesting. I wanted to do the same thing 2 hrs after I got the 
Evolver. Basically, you want to have different note durations (or 
'gate-time')

(Please note: my Evolver just stopped working so I can't double 
check what I did...

... but I'm pretty sure) This is what I did: Set the 'VCA  Level' to '0'. 
Set the VCA's 'Env Amt ' to '100'. Adjust the envelope's ADSR to 
your shortest note. Use one of the sequencer tracks to modulate 
the level of the VCA. Higher values in the seq. will sustain the 
sound, in effect, superceeding the envelope. This is not exactly 
'gate-time' but it might get you a little more funk.
