Re: clipping

2005-08-26 by polyf0nken

when i got the evolver i listened to the presets and noticed the same
thing. however, when i started doing my own sounds (buying an evo for
the presets sounds a bit fishy anyway) it became clear that there was
nothing wrong with the synth itself. if bad vst:s had this much chaos
and mayhem in them, i'd use my laptop a lot more. ;D

btw. the installation of 3.0 was dead easy, probably the best 25 bucks
i've spent in a while.
