Re: [Evolver] evolver + polyevolver

2004-07-01 by droolmaster0

I looked throught the manual, and my main concern didn't seem to be 
addressed directly, though I might have missed it. 

I kind of inferred that if you want to use the evolver as a control 
interface for the Poly, you have to set up the Poly as a 4 voice 
polyphonic. It didn't seem to be possible to control 5 independent 
synths and sequencers from the Evolver. 

That would be necessary for me to buy the Poly, I think.
