Filter tuning and some update questions

Filter tuning and some update questions

2007-08-17 by Anu Kirk

Fellow Evolvers -
The filters on my PEK seem to be a bit out of tune when I get them to 
self-oscillate.  This was not a problem on my old desktop Evolver.

Is there any (easy) way I can re-set or adjust the tuning of the filters?

Second, having been following the exciting news about the new Prophet 08 
and its features, I wonder if we could get some of them added to Evolver:

- Oscillators.  Supposedly Dave has tweaked the oscillators to be more 
"Prophet-y".  Sure would be nice to have the option on the Evolver to 
use those tweaks.  For example, having put the Evolver up on a scope, 
one thing that's clear is the Evolver's "sawtooth" is more of a "shark 
fin".  Yes, that gives the Evolver some of its character, but I wouldn't 
mind an option to have a true saw on the analog oscillators.  Anyone 
know if this shape is software-controlled or if it's hard-wired on the 
board?  Would love to have the option in an update.

- Looping Mod envelope.  Prophet's gonna have it. Would love it on the 
Evolver.
