Re: [Evolver] Dudes: Want poly evolver for ambient. Suitable?

2005-12-15 by MuzikB

1. Yes I have a Voyager and consider both synths to be
equals.

2. Are you kidding me?  There's a tweakable
Wavestation/Prophet VS in there.  You are Joking
right?  :)

3. Currently no, but I'm still learning it to find the
ways and tricks I can use to make it suit my needs. 
As I discover, I'll be sure to share.

Evolving sounds is what this synth is made for.  Right
down to creating and importing your own waveshapes. 
But I'd say that there isn't too much more you can do
with it past the Virus TI you already have.

Learn the TI then consider a Polyevolver but if you
must have one, it's a great purchase.
