Re: [Evolver] Aliasing and User Waveforms

Thanks for the replies....very quick too!
I'll try some user defined waveshapes and see what happens.I haven't
delved there yet.
The aliasing"feature" obviously hasn't stopped me from buying one and
can see/hear the attraction.I merely was hoping to use the Evolver in
other ways as well.Great synth!!

want it, need to avoid the digital waveforms up high and rely on the
analog oscillators, which of course don't have any.
