Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

If you mean internal modulation, like assigning an LFO source to an
Oscillator destination within the Evolver itself, then yes, I think
those values are smoothed.

When tweaking knobs on the Evolver, or from an external MIDI
controller, you get stepped values. The manual says the Filter
Frequency parameter has smoothing applied when tweaked from a knob,
but I think that's the only one.

Again, I'm not trying to be negative here. I love the sound of my
Evolver :) Just a little wishful thinking.
