Call Dave Smith and talk to him about it. There may be a problem.
But before you do, tell us what patches you are talking about. Since many of the patches are intentionally distorted!

Subject: [Evolver] clipping

Hi
I only ask this being worried of a malfunction,since 99.9% of the
reviews and testimonials about evolver are 10/10 and "oh my god..".
Many of the default patches -at volumes as low as 50 or even lower-
clips horribly,i mean,not distorted,but cheap static and very harsh.
Now,I know i can fix this by setting individual volumes of the osc at
low levels,and checking the feedback,and....but I ask,is it ok,is it
like this with all evolvers?
I don't know,it just doesn't feel ok to have a lot of the patches
sounding cheaper than a bad vsti...especially such a great synth,great
architecture,great reviews....I expect that from my nord modular,not
from an analog synth(hybrid,yes).
Please,help me,is my little blue box broken?
I really do not mean to be ironic or..I am just very sad,I love that
kind of synth architecture,i know it's not supposed to be some kind of
juno,but still,it's far beyond what i have expected.
Thanx a lot for every advice you might have for me.
