Midi out.

Midi out.

2005-12-01 by antunderground

Hi.
Two days ago i bought a second hand evolver for 250 euros.
It has been updated to v.2.0.
I cannot sent midi notes to my Kurzweil K2661. I set an arpegiator
program to evolver,i sent midi out to kurzwil's midi in, i set the
same midi chanell, but kurzweil not responding. I know that evolver's
midi out works, because when i turn the programs knob, the programs of
my kurzweil change right.
Can anybody help me?

This machine is fantastic.

You have to set the sequencer destination to the "MIDI Note Out" dest --
normally it's set to something like "Osc All Freq" or whatever.  Each of
the 4 sequencers in a patch has its own destination parameter, so you
can set some to internal destinations, and some to midi out.

On the desktop evolver, the sequencer destination parameters are the
first four parameters on the last row.

There are 6 midi-related sequencer destinations:

   MIDI Note Out
   MIDI Velocity Out
   MIDI Mod Wheel Out
   MIDI Pressure Out
   MIDI Breath Controller Out
   MIDI Foot Controller Out

I only have the PEK documentation, so I'm not sure what cryptic
3-letter abbrevations the desktop evolver uses for these.  They are near
the end of the destination list though, so if you scroll to the last few
values, you should be able to work out which ones they are.

Note that older OS versions did not implement MIDI destinations, so if
you have an older manual, it may not list these.
