Re: [Evolver] Evolver questions

2002-11-04 by Ravi Ivan Sharma

1. Each patch contains its own sequence. So, you can have multiple sequencer with or without the same sound(s) being played depending on how you program all being switched from any midi device that transmits program changes.
2. I need more time to tell you how smoothly the sequences/programs change. Pretty smoothly is the answer, but I thing there is no "next program in waiting" feature as in many groove style sequencers that will wait till the sequence is played out before switching. So you will have to be very accurate timing wise with sending the Program changes. Perhaps another sequencer (like an E-mu command station or MC-x0x or whatever) would best be used to control the evolver's sequences (like a sub sequencer).
3. Yes the track 1 is the only trigger for the single set of envelopes, hence the master "rest" track.

Hi all,

I've been thinking of ordering an Evolver but there are a few
questions I have that some of you who own or have played with an
Evolver may be able to comment on. Most of these questions relate to
the sequencer and some are touched on in the manual and just need
clarification.

Firstly, how well does Evolver change between sequences (that is, if
you have a number of programs that use the same sound but with
different sequences). I was wondering if it was feasible to use
Evolvers sequencer for live use (ie. stringing patterns together).
Does it change smoothly and without any hiccups ?

Secondly, how are rests programmed ? Am I right in thinking that the
first sequencer "channel" (or row) is always dedicated to this
purpose - ie a knob setting of 0 = off.

Is it possible to have different clock divisions amongst the
different sequencer rows ?

cheers

Simon
