RE: [DSI Synths] Re: getting more out of the mono desktop evolver

2009-07-24 by Iain Bryden

After buying an Evolver Desktop I went on to buy a Mono Evolver Keyboard
and loved it so much that I bought a Poly Evolver Rack. I sold the Rack
because Combo mode was so poorly implemented that I decided to get other
gear instead. I still have the EVO and the MEK.

 

Before I sold the PER I used it for a project. 

 

Check out "Henchmen Suite" (3rd piece down). Synth parts are almost all
Evolver. Percussion parts are from Spectrasonics Stylus RMX.

thanks everyone for your posts...will be looking into this and
considering new ideas...selling tons of gear (well, not tons but i never
sell anything) to buy new toys...thinking, in a while, about trying to
find a poly evolver rack...i'm sure i'm amongst the 1000's that use the
genetic algorithms to begin building new patches, but i'd be really
interested to hear some random genetic hits from a poly just to hear how
much more complicated they might be...my work is experimental, but with
a fairly heavy sound design element, so the poly is interesting in that
respect...no need for a keyboard though...has anyone made the jump and
found it to be hugely rewarding, or just a bit more rewarding? <sigh>
money!
