Re: [Evolver] tabletop evolver for live use vs. alesis micron

2006-05-14 by Richard

if you need a polysynth then the evo is not for you - but you can make very complex monosynth lines with it and sonically it takes up much more space than the micron - it has a bigger sound in every way. An evo bassline with a little resonance and modulation can be used as the basis for a whole tune - realistically the micron won't do that

Hi,

"CAN you have the sequencer control one oscillator while you are able
to play another oscillator from a keyboard controller? --That might
be a stupid question, but this thing seems kind of mysterious to
what it can do."

No, I'm sorry. It's monophonic, ie the envelope generator affects all oscillators.

Hello,

I am really considering purchasing a tabletop evolver or an alesis
micron for live use with a drum machine (ya I know they are very
different) and I was wondering if anyone could share their
experiences with using the mono-tabletop unit or the micron live.

Basically, I am hesitant to buy the evolver for only a couple
reasons. I like to write music with a lot of layers, so the
polyphony issue comes to mind. I cant afford a pek or rack. I
understand you can sequence out each oscillator to make chords and
different lines though.

CAN you have the sequencer control one oscillator while you are able
to play another oscillator from a keyboard controller? --That might
be a stupid question, but this thing seems kind of mysterious to
what it can do.

Also, would this synth be good for composers on the "less
experimental" side of things? I personally dont need every patch to
be 100% original to make cool music for myself.

Any help would be great!
