... I like the rougher side too but its all too easy to crank up the feedback and distortion...I had to restrain myself while making my analog patches ;)

Nice demos! Sounds like recordings I ve heard of the Matrix 12 I think it was. Wish my tabletop evolver came with a bank of old school analog patches.

They are the same thing except for Polyphony. The PEK is 4 voices. The Evolver is 1 voice. The Evolver gave rise to the PEK, so thank the might Evolver gods

Without knowing anything specific about the PEK, it s always a good idea to turn down (mute) the power amp when plugging/unplugging cables for any equipment.

Hi - I dont have an Evolver yet (being delivered) so this is just a guess. Try setting the Cutoff frequency to zero then retry the modwheel (routed to cutoff).

I think it might work if the desktop evolver was before the pek in the midi chain. Bigger issue is the output difference between the evolver and the pek and
