question for evolver users
2006-03-21 by skylab001
I am really considering buying a desktop evolver or a poly evolver rack but I had a few questions first. I have too many analog or VA synths already(prophet 5, Nord Modular, Juno, JX3-P, OB Matrix6) so I'm not looking for another analog, not really my reason for looking at the evolver. But I do need something to replace a long since dead prophet vs. I'm wondering how the digital pads sound on the desktop or poly evolver? I know they have the same wavetables as the vs, and I know they are not vector like the vs but I'm wondering if anybody has managed to create any decent atmospheric pads similiar to what the VS was capable of? I only had a chance once very, very briefly to try out a poly evolver and what I heard sounded good, but it seemed the presets I heard were more analog than digital and also they all seemed to be sequences. All the samples I have downloaded from the net seem to be either more analog stuff or really harsh and noisy stuff. Also I'm not sure how limiting it is being 4 voices, I know on my prophet I do quite often run out of voices. Anyway just curious to see what people think. Oh yeah, how is the unit with external sysex controllers.....is there any aliasing or delays when controlling them?? I know on my OB the filter aliases as well as skips about when I move the knobs on my sysex controller too fast, and live control is a big issue for me.
