Re: [Evolver] quickie on filter and vca

Re: [Evolver] quickie on filter and vca

2003-04-15 by Ravi Ivan Sharma

Sounds wierd. But you need to be more specific. First, start with a simple patch with no special mod routings. Then remember that filter adsr will not do anything, nor will vca adsr unless you also have the env amount setting up in both cases (and in the case of the filter, you have set the cutoff to a reasonable position taking into consideration that filter env amount "adds" to the level of the cutoff frequency). The vca adsr release won't appear to do anything if the filter adsr and release is causing the sound to end before the vca even gets it.
So, for testing vce env release, turn filter env amt to zero, turn cutoff frequence to full. Now you should have a full sound from one or more oscs. Now turn vca env amount to full and tweak the adsr there, everything should work fine (note: turn the VCA LEVEL to zero or you will get drone notes that never go off).
Work?
Okay set a reasonable release time and then go up to the filter section. lower the filter cutoff frequence to about 1/4 and then add some env amt and tweak the filter envelope and play notes. you should start to hear the filter sweeps etc. remember the filter sweeps will make noise (your garbage?) if the resonance is set very high.

Subject: [Evolver] quickie on filter and vca

Is it just me or is something not normal here? When i adjust the release on my vca it doesnt seem to do anything. If i open the relase on the filter i get all this " garbage " after i release the key. Normally, on most adsr's i have messed with, the release determines how fast the filter closes and how fast the vca ceases to produce sound in key with the note played. Now i have only been into synths for a while so maybe this is only true with the other synths i have. Someone, please clue me in here.
Thanks

sequenser trigging without syncing?

2003-04-16 by peter sedin

hi.
evolver is tricky to sync!
first of all..it dosent start when i hit play on MPC.
but my doepfer mac16/3 that is conected thru out from
evolver starts
second..and i dont see why..is that evolver seq.
starts from srart(only the first  8 in seq ) and then
start again from 1 when synced to ext/clock.
i meen the seqs. with diffrent lenght just play the
first 8..
do you follow me:)
sooo..is there a way to just trig evolver to start?
and dont use ext/clock??
peter.

If you don't sync to midi clock it will stray out of time too 
quickly... Could it be the time signature you are using on the 
sequence? Does it not have time to get through all 16 steps before 
retriggering? Are you looping your sequencer on a single measure or 
too soon to get through all 16 steps?

I don't have an Evolver yet, so I guess I'm not much help...
