Re: [Evolver] Poly Chain Question

2006-11-02 by Stefan Trippler

Neither the PEK nor the Desktop have a audio mix input, it is present only 
in the rack versions. THe normal audio inputs are for processing of external 
audio via the Evolver's synth engine, not suited to mix the audio outs of 
different units.
You have to connect both the audio outs of Desktop and PER to a mixing desk.
