Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi there, 

I am having trouble making deeeeep bass sounds with the evolver, the 
only way I managed so far is to use a keytracked filter with hi 
resonance. Unfortunately it imposes a limit over what it can sound 
like. 

I'm not talking of sub-bass, even if I got used to it with the mQ.

It seems like the oscillators of the evolver have a minimum tuned 1 
octave higher than all my other synths. I am working with the Osc 
frequency at C [the lowest] if I lower the Key Xpose the only thing 
it does it plays the same note on the lower keys [i.e. it reaches 
the minimum it can play].

According to the manual, `C' is 8Hz, which is pretty damn low...
Perhaps your keyboard is sending high note numbers?

input]

Found it... 




The transpose was at +36 for some very very obscure reason... The 
funny thing, I think is that it must have shipped that way from the 
factory, as I always had to play the evolver in the lowest octaves to 
get a normal sound...




hee hee hee stupid me. Now back to programming.




Thanks anyway,
