Evolver Updates / LFO speed

Evolver Updates / LFO speed

2004-04-17 by phonophobie

I hope there will be further updates for the evolver? 

Personally, I want faster LFO´s to make some nice Ring-/Frequency 
Moduation type sounds with it - mostly in combination with 
selfresonant filter . The regulary speed of LFO ends at 150... they 
should be at least four times faster imho ;) maybe there could be 
further steps implantated... like the switching at the glide 
feature... range 1,2,3,4


The DCO´s as modulation source doesn´t work that good because they 
are getting to trashy in the higher frequncies. ( ok, sometimes that 
can sound nice also ;) 

Anyway i will ask mr Smith for that feature. So if anyone has some 
thoughts about new features we should maybe send him a wishlist ?

I doubt this would happen (further revisions, that is) anytime soon... But
if it were, the only feature that I wish the Evolver had was longer sequences.
The ability to make, for example, sequence 1 handle the first sixteen steps
and then sequence 2 the second sixteen steps (etc) would be excellent!

yes that would be nice but it would be better when "shift+Seq" would 
be used for that. there is no function so far being in seqencer shift 
mode...

...added to wishlist ;)

( i also doubt a update will come soon .. but who knows - maybe DSI 
is interested in people thoughts .. )

well, TBH I'd still be happy if the OS was never updated but I'd like the
capacity to map a handful of extra midi CCs as modulation sources - maybe an
option to use one instead of pressure/pedal etc... this could open up the
capacity of the evo as a windsynth amongst other things... my wx5 has 4 or 5
additional midi controllers which the evo can't currently use.

I like your ideas.  You should email Dave.  I sent him an email
earlier about extra assignable CC messages and he responded.  Use the
email off his wepage.

Re: Evolver Updates / WishList

2004-04-19 by phonophobie

yes... we should send a email in the near future. So people come up
with some wishes or just some thoughts. I guess i speak for all
evolver users when i say that i am still a proud and happy owner of
this amazing synth. So a "wishlist" should not be understood as a
"buglist" or anything like that. Any comments and suggestions could be
inspirations.... Even for newer DSI gear.

So far we have 3 things, right?

-highfrequency LFO´s 
-16 steps on sequencer
-extra assignable midi CC messages as modulation sources

i remember someone was talking about "more or unlimited modulation
slots" earlier. But things like that would are hard to do since the
interface is limited to the actual synth architecture. 
Ok let me think...Maybe "modulation source number4" could be further
enhanced... phew...complicated...but the display could be like this
M4-OFF-SEQ1-SEQ2-SEQ3-SEQ4-LFO1-etc-etc
M5-OFF-SEQ1-SEQ2-SEQ3-SEQ4-LFO1-etc-etc
M6-OFF-SEQ1-SEQ2-SEQ3-SEQ4-LFO1-etc-etc
M7....
M10000 

i wish i could write my own OS ;)
cheers

Re: Evolver Updates / WishList

2004-04-20 by deknoww

ok, i would add.....

1.  an alternate overlay for the evolver that labels it as 
an "environmental sound supressor/concentration enhancment sound 
generator"...this would make it suitable to use at work with 
headphones :)

2.  double clicking a row select button should bring you into shift 
mode (currently, you have to double click the shift button, it would 
be much faster to just do the row button...even a tripple click would 
work for me).

3.  cc's for other parameters.

4.  gate times for individual steps would be nice (although you can 
do this with the envelope settings).

other than these, i am compleltely in love with the evolver.  i 
thought i would use it mostly with my windsynth, but i'm such a step 
sequencer junky (yes, i have a problem), that i can't stop programing 
sequencer patches!

selling my second evolver

2004-04-23 by Gene Schwartz

I have 2, will sell my second one so that I can make other purchases.

It's about 2 months old. In perfect shape - it is a recluse like me, and
only hangs out in my apartment.

I'm asking $400.

Email me at implode7@... if you're interested. Well, probably
everyone here has one already, or is waiting to buy a Polyevolver, but I
thought I'd try anyway.
