Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

so.. has anyone written anything cool with their evolver lately?
I have to say, I've started getting much more subtle with my evo
programming.

when I first started it was all about wiggly whacked out unsynched LFO FX
ramble walls of noise, but as much as I loved it, I couldn't find any way to
make it work with other things.. I nearly sold it once or twice, but the
wall of noise sillyness was so much fun, and the rawness of its sound was so
engaging, even though I couldn't use it I loved it. so I kept it just for my
own amusement rather than a serious part of my instrument collection....
kind of like a music toy. I get the feeling a lot of people had exactly the
same issues with it, from what I read here over the last few years..

Anyway - finally, I think I actually learned how to use it in a way that
works for me...  I've been using it for simple bass and synth sounds, with
most modulations/sequencer turned right down or even off,
distortion/hackfeedback and delay left right alone... like I'm aiming for it
to pretend it's just an SH101 most of the time.... It makes a really
beautiful solid sound thats all its own when you do this, and that way all
the weird possibilities are kept in reserve for the occasional mod wheel
controlled wigout.


Me and my partner are starting to record a new album now, and I'm really
optimistic that the evolver will be making some very major appearances in
it...


.........just thought I'd share my recent positive experiences.
