Re: buchla thunder/evolver combo?

2004-03-01 by Michael A. Firman

Hi,

I am a Thunder player/owner and a Evolver owner but I've not connected
them. The main reason is indeed that the Thunder thrives on multi-timbral
boxes. The Thunder is much better suited for a device like a MicroWaveXT 
or (my personal favorite) a Yamaha TX802, or an Oberheim Xpander.

That said, the Thunder is also a great device for sending continuous control
messages so I could invision connecting it to the Evolver where every playing
key would be mapped to the Evolver and all the key gestures would be CCs
of some type to control the modulation sources on the Evolver.

Send me some e-mail off list if you get the Thunder and we can discuss it
in greater depth.
