Re: Midi control to each oscilator on desktop evo?

2008-02-10 by sonofprent

Yup! Its funny I figured out a similar thing last night: routing the
mono to control midi control osc pitch on osc 1 - 4. You can the
parameter lock each step in a sequence to a different pitch on the
evo's oscilators. I havent tried it yet or got as far as transcribing
the note numbers but it sounds like thats what you did with the rm1x.
Will give it a go today, thanks for the help.

As for your hardware predicament I personally havent looked back after
getting the monomachine, its an amazing synth- if decide to get one
and you get the chance go for the sfx6, the interface is close to 
perfect.

Cheers!
