Re: Polyevolver Keyboard + Evolver Desktop?

2008-05-29 by chuddy023

Thanks for the info in this thread...

I have a similar problem.

My MEK outs are routed into my PER mix input, and like everyone has 
said in here...  Ever 5 note I play is louder since the MEK seems to 
have a louder output.  

This is not good for poly playing...  Its really annoying..

now I thought I could just tune down the master volume on the MEK to 
compensate... But no, the master volume is also linked as part of 
the polychain...  WHY!!!  

Since both the MEK and PER have a master volume knob, having these 
unlinked would solve the volume differences....

Dave Smith please help!!

OK so I'm not too upset and I haven't told DSI about my findings, 
but I thought you peeps here should all know this polychain volume 
issue is real.

Thanks
