Sounds like some Mr Trippler patches on that video :)

Hello ppl, i am sorry to be the bad one but .... -- kbd aftertouch ? or only vel ? is it a Fatar or .. ? -- knobs or encoder ? they look very cheap too me ! at least in the pix and i really dont like the shape of the knobs. -- Midi CCs ? Can u program different midi ccs sets in different programs ? (without this u cant remap or control different synths) actually this is such a great feature and still so rare, in my OB12 i can do it but then it is fixed, disregarding whatever program u choose. It is mapped now to reflect the Pulse, but if i want to control another synth i have to remap them again ! i am sure it sounds GREAT but to add a keyboard to the arsenal it has to be a GREAT controller too.

It's said to be the (exact) same keyboard as the Alesis A6, which is a Fatar, but supposedly one of the nicer ones. I think the A6 has aftertouch, so the keybed itself must support it.

I can attest that the keyboard on the poly is the
best fatar available (the same on the A6) and full channel aftertouch
is implemented. Indeed, it is better aftertouch response than most any other
synths, even those that use the same keyboard. The reason? It is that Dave Smith
has taken the basically, in his opinion, rather rough aftertouch that the fatars
output, and has used his own algorythms to smooth it out and make the pressure
curve really really nice. I have used it extensively and while demo-ing at the
Namm booth, a few people came up to comment on the fact that it was the best
aftertouch response they had felt. Hence the conversation on this topic. This is
just another example of how a designer implements things rather than just
plugs components together. Makes all the difference.
The knobs are the same, the encoders are not. They
are smooth, not detented and do not have the same few issues of the others.
Big knobs means less space between them and less
room to do easy turns. The issue of what size knobs to use was not conditioned
on Dave having extra stock I can assure you. He likes those knobs. And even if
they don't appear shiny and all, they really do the job. The rest of the synth
is pretty flashy with all the blue lights.

Thanks for the clarifications, Ravi. The PEK is sounding more drool-worthy than ever... -Miles -- I'm beginning to think that life is just one long Yoko Ono album; no rhyme or reason, just a lot of incoherent shrieks and then it's over. --Ian Wolff

With all those knobs laying out there begging to be tweaked, I was hoping he would change them because the detented kind on the first Evolver just aren't ideal for heavy tweaking. They need to be smooth. -JP
