RE: [Evolver] Bread and Butter Sound on the Evolver

2003-10-06 by Quest Pond

This guys web site has some other interesting stuff done with the evolver- well maybe its not all to my taste but you can get an idea of the sonics possible:
http://www.trippler.net/music/DSI-Evolver/dsi-evolver.html
Personally i noticed a whole different palette of sounds when not using the internal sequencer. Just hearing the sequencer alone is selling it short i think. But this is just my opinion, best decide your needs then look at limitations.
Basses i would say no problem, strings- well your going to need polyphony for this so no (best to sample it), pads - well you can create great atmospheric sounds that not many other machines can do.
Remember you can also tune each oscillator individually so you can get richer chord sounds, but forget playing changing chord sounds on a monosynth.
So in summary Evolver is great with a sampler as it will give you all options, but if its your only keyboard and no sampler then i would suggest get something else to go with it or buy a sampler.

Subject: [Evolver] Bread and Butter Sound on the Evolver

Hello Evolverists and Evolverines,
Are there any links to some more normal sound examples on the DSI
Evolver? Most of the stuff i was able to listen to on the internet
(including Dave Smiths Website) was quite crazy digital noise sound
using the internal sequencer.

Well, i like those sounds, but i wonder if the Evolver is also
capable of producing some usual stuff like Strings, Pads, basses
etc...

I consider buying the tiny little box, but i wanna be sure its not
completely "niche".

thanks for your interest.
