Dave Smith Instruments Evolver

De Evolver is een monofone synthesizer met 4 oscillators, 2 analoge en 2 digitale. Analoge oscillator golfvormen zijn SAW, TRIANGLE, SAW-TRIANGLE en PULSE. (met voltage-controlled analoge puls-breedte modulatie…..PWM). De digitale oscillators hebben 96 wavetables van de prophet-VS (128x12bits), en 32 user-loadable (via MIDI) wavetables (128x16bits) De digitale oscillators worden bij hogere frequenties een beetje “smerig”, net zoals bij de originele VS.

Features

Hard Sync on the analog oscillators
FM and Ring Mod on the digital oscillators
Separate Glide per oscillator
2 Separate (left & right) real voltage-controlled analog lowpass filters, 4-pole/2-pole switchable, fully resonant (in 4-pole mode)
Analog Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA), again one for each channel.
Dual digital 4-pole Highpass filters (one per channel); place before or after analog electronics.
Stereo audio inputs; Noise generator
Envelope Follower and Peak Detect from External Input to use as modulation sources
External Input can be used to gate envelopes and/or step the Sequencer
3 snappy ADSR envelopes
Four LFOs (sync with sequencer and MIDI)
Dual (left and right channel) tunable feedback loops; modulate frequency and amount
Delay with 3 taps; each with separate time and amount modulation. Syncs to sequencer/MIDI. Normal feedback and additional feedback path through analog filters
Distortion! Digital, one for each channel, can be placed before or after analog electronics
3 Banks of 128 Programs for 384 total Programs – dump to/from MIDI
16 x 4 Analog-style sequencer – syncs with MIDI
Extensive Modulation capabilities, including audio-range modulation. Bipolar (+/-) modulation.
Easy to program matrix-style front panel with 8 endless-turn rotary encoders
A bunch of MIDI stuff
Internal computer & DSP chips can be reprogrammed via MIDI, for easy feature additions
