Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I am very sad to say that my Evolver has stopped functioning correctly.  I am very good at 
program this synth so I know that no LFOs and the third envelope are turned on.  The 
transpose and fine tune are also at zero.  So my problem is that when I have the 4-pole on 
and all oscillators at zero, with the resonance at 100, I get a strong beating where the 
resonance will go up in down in timbre and this will speed up as I go up the keyboard.  I 
have an example I recorded, but I don't know where to post it..so anyone who wants to 
help and hear the example please email me @ sdanuser@... and i'll send you the 
audio file.  I don't know what to do..it was working fine yesterday!

Thanks everyone,

Scott

I think I figured out the problem.  The beating occurs when I have my new (2 mono male 
to 1 mono female) Y cable connected to the left and right out..but when I take one of these 
connections out, it works fine.  Does anyone know why my resonance was beating when I 
have both left and right out plugged into one mono 1/4 cable?

I think when you sum it to mono that way, you're getting phase 
cancellations between the left and right channels because they have 
separate filters that are not exactly the same.

Relax. Yahoo! Mail virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses!

He's using a dual mono to mono Y cable - he's **shorting** the left and 
right outputs together.

You can't mix audio with a Y cable - not without feedback, distortion 
and other nasty artifacts. Not to mention damage to the gear itself...

I've already posted here about ths issue that I have with it. I just
received it Friday, so it really is 'as new'.

I'm looking at a large restocking fee. I got this at a pretty good price, so
if you're looking for one, send me an email. There might be a slight bit of
haggling room as regards returning this, so I'm not posting a price here
yet...

I'm looking to get an Andromeda. So, a trade for a good condition Andromeda
would be welcome also.
