Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Ouch!  I've never actually owned a VS or a Wavestation, and I forgot 
that they could sweep a wavetable with an LFO.  

Too bad that "Wave Shape" (or even "Sequence Step Value"!) isn't on 
that already long list of the Evolver's "Modulation 
Destinations".  ;)  You COULD simulate the real thing (to a degree) 
and imitate an LFO's output by not only ordering the waves in the 
desired sequence, but having a few "repeat" waves in the list to 
represent the "flatter" portions of the LFO wave you're after (like 
the soft peaks of a sine wave).  

I've looked, and I don't think there's any way to actually use an LFO 
to specify or modify wave shape selection.  However, with the 
Evolver, I'll never say "never" or "can't"!
