I'm away from my evolver... 

Please confirm that you cannot ring modulate  an external signal with 
an internal oscillator.

thx,

as far as i know there aren't any modulation possibilities between 
external signal and internal sound generators. waaah, that would be the 
coolest... being able to fm a drumloop or something...

Confirmed ;-)

Well now it's a confirmed request in the database! :-) 
[I have a bad feeling it is not feasible]

Not quite, but check this - you can do AM on an external signal by 
having osc 3 or 4 modulate the VCA. It's too bad the external input 
isn't a direct destination, because then you could AM that without 
AM'ing everything. But it does make for some freaky textures on any 
external signal.

I uploaded a file into the files folder (sorry, no webspace of my own 
at the moment) that's a drumloop processed in this fashion. I just 
punched in a pretty bog-standard beat into Rebirth and ran it through 
the evo. Due to technical reasons (read: my studio is ghetto and I 
ran out of cables) the loop is mono, but it still sounds good. If 
anybody wants to use it for anything, go for it. Consider it public 
domain. The file is called drumloop3000.wav. 

If anybody is curious of the specifics, what I did was I routed OSC3 
to VCA, I routed the envelope follower to OSC3's pitch, and I used 
the sequencers to modulate pitch and delay a bit for variation. I 
think I added some slight feedback and filtering, too. What you are 
hearing is the processed drum loop mixed with the original, the 
oscillators of the evolver aren't actually audible, I just used OSC3 
for modulation purposes. 

It's not quite ring modulation, but it sounds the part.

Cute!
Thanks for the tip.

Cheers,
