Re: [Evolver] Re: Hi from potential newbie

the only resamblance between a evolver and a blofeld is the size. evovler sound is fat and analoge and you could use a midi-sax with breath controller for controlling parameters on the evovler.
also it has a powerful yet simple event/note sequenser
blofeld compared to evolver is a toy.
peace out and welcome to the list!

Hey Ed!

Being totally biased towards the evolver and never having used a
blofeld, I think the evolver would be a great choice to use with your
EWI. It's got a dedicated mod-slot for breath control as well as 4
other mod-slots in which you can have breath control as a modulation
source, so you wouldn't be lacking in expressive control. And if it's
'wickedness' you want, well, you really can't get much more wicked
than some of the sounds an evolver can make.

Anyhow, have fun in your research!
