Re: Anyone run a guitar through the Evolver?

2004-05-02 by sc_0t

I sync the Evolver (slave) to my MPC (sequencer) so that the Evolver 
runs through a sequence.  Great for beat-matching any parameter in 
the Evo to a song, even just simple delays.  I like to sample my 
guitar (or any other sound source), let's say 4 bars, let my 
MPC 'play guitar' and run the signal into the Evo.  This lets me 
tweek the Evo instead of play guitar.  I run through and edit the 
sequence note-by-note.  Great for getting the God Live Underwater 
sound!  Then I can go back an play guitar after the EVO is all 
setup.  Gating the Evo's sequencer with MIDI (from the MPC/recorded 
MIDI or live/keyboard) is also an aural treat!  
This is all great _if_ you use a sequencer!  
I usually set up all four sequences,  plus adding an OSC or two for 
melodic content.  VCA is great to sequence for a stuttery guitar 
sound, from mild to ....I'll say it....wild.  
I'll see if I can post an mp3 somewhere........
