Elektron Musical Instruments

There are 4 discreet 16 step sequencers. But the the Evolver tabletop is a 1 voice synth. BUT, since each voice consists of 4 oscillators, it is possible to route each of of the sequences to a different oscillators pitch parameter and thereby create polyphonic sounding sequences. 

Think of it this way, in a single voice synth, there are numerous destinations that can be routed to from LFOs, Envelopes or other modifiers such as aftertouch or a wheel, etc. These destinations include things like filter cutoff frequency, resonance amount, oscillator 1 volume, oscillator 1 pitch, oscillator 2 pitch, etc, etc.

Each of the 4 sequences can have one destination. IN this way, you can make poly sounding sequences even though it is *just* a single voice synth.

So, no, it is not like the monomachine, but it can, in certain ways be made to sound like more than one voice (even though it isn't)

There are examples of one voice multi osc sequences up at http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/evolver/sounds.html

I happened to have authored this one which demonstrates this effect: http://www.dsisynth.com/Sounds/set1/01raviseq01.mp3

  I'm confused about the sequencer on this... does it
  have 4 tracks (like the Monomachine has 6) or just one
  track?  One the site it says 4 x 16... but other
  places state that it does not.  Can someone confirm?
