Acid on Mono Evolver keyboard

Acid on Mono Evolver keyboard

2012-04-25 by Cousin

Hi,

i'm new to evolver ; i would like to know how do you make acid bassline (like tb-303) ?

Here's what i found :
1. Only osc1, note c1, shape sawtooth, glide (finger around 50), level 100
2. Env3 > adsr : A0, D110, S0, R0 ; destination : VCA ; amount : 99
3. LPF : 4pole, freq : 30, res : 90 ; adsr : A10, D60, S0, R20
4. Sequence edit : destination : LPF, Clock : 16th, BPM : 120

So, it doesn't work… Just some sounds, nothing acid…
Am i missing something ??

Thanks for your help ;

I would try cranking up the distortion a bit (turn DOWN the volume).

The classic acid bassline is often distorted.  

You'll have to play with the cutoff, and resonance to find the type of sound you desire, whether it's "tube-screamer" style or "bubbling, gurgling" type acid.

Also remember the KeyAmount and Velocity parameters of the filter section also effect how the filter reacts to incoming midi signals.
