Howdy, Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way of controlling each oscilator by seperate midi channel on the desktop evo, ie c1 to osc1, c2 - osc2 ect? Cheers

I doubt it. Wouldn't make much sense. sonofprent wrote:

Yes its possible . this guy describes how to convert MIDI notes to CC data using the NTCC midi VST. theres an mp3 demonstating the kind of thing you can do by controlling all 4 oscillators independently. http://seismo.blogspot.com/2007/06/n2cc-vs-dsi-evolver.html --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, "sonofprent" <sonofprent@...> wrote:

Lovely job, thanks for your help I shall take a look here. Im thinking this is a software work around and there's no way of doing this via hardware midi sequencer? I had visions of programming 64 step sequences for each oscilator via monomachine with the 4 evo 16 step internal sequencers routed to pulse/filter/fm and the like... would be very nice but after reading manual/fidling Im not sure it can be done. Maybe I'll have to go software.... --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, "staplesyrup" <staplesyrup@...> wrote: > > Yes its possible . this guy describes how to convert MIDI notes to CC data using the NTCC > midi VST. > theres an mp3 demonstating the kind of thing you can do by controlling all 4 oscillators > independently. > > http://seismo.blogspot.com/2007/06/n2cc-vs-dsi-evolver.html > > > > --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, "sonofprent" <sonofprent@> wrote: > > > > It would to me! > > > > --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, Computer Controlled <acidted@> > > wrote: > > > > > > I doubt it.

It should be possible if you can assign your sequencer to send CC data. if youre intent on using hardware why not just use the evolvers own sequencer? you could have a 64 part melody made of 4 programs. you'd have to sequence the program changes though somehow. --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, "sonofprent" <sonofprent@...> wrote:

yeah, my 1st thought was to use the evolver's own sequencer... anyway, lots of hardware sequencers can be set up to sequence CC changes. I use the Sequentix P3, and doing this is a breeze.

may i suggest the yamaha rm1x + paper + Pencil before i sold my evo, i i drew a one octave keyboard on a sheet of paper. below each white key and above each black key, i wrote the key's midi note number. so a cm7 was no longer just c-d#-g-a#. it was 00-06-14-20. to raise the pitch an octave, i just added 24 to the midi note number. soon i became adept at mentally playing my one- octave paper keyboard and dialing up the notes in the sequencer. if i ever have the pleasure of owning an evo again, i will program my melodies for each osc into my rm1x. It thinks of a pattern as having 16 different sections, each section with a different pattern length if i want. so i could have a 4-bar section A, a 16-bar section B, a 64-bar section C and so forth. now, press play, then press the section that i want to play -- in any order. A-C-C-B, for instance. that's what i plan to do when i get another evolver. i upgraded my desktop evolver only to ver 2.0 before i sold it. if i get another evolver (i'm debating between the MEK, a radias and a monomachine -- the latter two not for their sounds but for what they can do to external gear such as my jp-6), i plan to use the method i just described to trigger the MEK's pitches while its internal sequencers modulate other parameters. should be awesome. does this sound like a solution for you? --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, "sonofprent" <sonofprent@...> wrote: > > Howdy, > > Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way of controlling

Yup! Its funny I figured out a similar thing last night: routing the mono to control midi control osc pitch on osc 1 - 4. You can the parameter lock each step in a sequence to a different pitch on the evo's oscilators. I havent tried it yet or got as far as transcribing the note numbers but it sounds like thats what you did with the rm1x. Will give it a go today, thanks for the help. As for your hardware predicament I personally havent looked back after getting the monomachine, its an amazing synth- if decide to get one and you get the chance go for the sfx6, the interface is close to perfect.

Cheers Peter, I got that far.

it actually makes quite a bit of sense if you're looking for a way to use a sequencer to track the pitch of each osc, or if you just want to play each osc's pitch independently via a keyboard. i use tobybear's N2CC midi VST plug-in to do this. with 4 instances of N2CC, you can control all four oscillators independently. you just have to send a sustained note-on to the evo to get the synth engine running. it also makes life easier if you have each oscillator's level set to a fader or knob on your controller... so you can quickly mute/solo each osc. it's not like you have 4 evo's this way, since all voices are going through the same synth routing. but it's cool, nonetheless. any host that can run *midi* vst plugs should work. - dan --- In DSI_Evolver@yahoogroups.com, "sonofprent" <sonofprent@...> wrote:
