Today I plugged my guitar into my PEK to see the how sound could be modulated. I was surprised that the envelope generators and filter had no effect, but other effects like distortion and delay worked fine. Has anyone else been more successful that I've been with the instrument interface? Bernie

I assumed that you would understand I meant that you need to have a key on the poly evolver (or the midi controller you use) to activate the filter path, but I guess you didn't catch that. --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, "Bernie" <kornowicz@...> wrote:

Thanks Andy. That got me farther along than I was, but it's going to take a bit more playing around with the modules.

No, I missed it altogether. I tried your suggestion, but it didn't have any affect. I'll continue trying though.

Dosen't the Evolver have a built-in envelope follower with a level trigger? Regards, James

Hi Bernie, You definitely need some kind of preamp. Cheers Andy ________________________________
