Miscellaneous timing parameters – Dave Smith Instruments EVOLVER User Manual

Key Off/Xpose: 7 8 Off, -36…+36 Enables and transposes MIDI notes. If 0FF,
MIDI notes are ignored. Otherwise, it transposes midi notes from –36 to +36
semitones (+/- 3 octaves).

Note – this is an important parameter! When this is off, MIDI notes will not work.
This parameter, with the Trigger Select (above) are the main controls for selecting
how Evolver plays.

Another note – you will find that there are other interactions between the
sequencer and MIDI. For example, if you make a Program using the sequencer,
you will likely set the Oscillator frequencies up to the desired pitch range. But, if
you then try to play this Program from a keyboard, the pitches will likely be too
high. Rather than lowering all the oscillator frequencies (which would mess up the
sequence!) you can simply use the transpose here.

Key Mode: 1 8 S see table Selects the key mode when playing from a MIDI
keyboard:

Display

L0

Low note priority

L0r

Low note priority, re-trigger envelopes

ir

P Bend Range: 1 7 S 0…12 Pitch Bend Range, in semitones.



Miscellaneous Timing Parameters

BPM: 1 3 S 30…250 The Programmed basic speed for the sequencer in BPM.
Works the same as the BPM in Main, but is only active when “Use Preset Tempo” is
on. When Use Preset Tempo is on, changing this parameter also changes the main
BPM, and vise-versa. When off, changing this parameter has no effect.

Clock Div: 1 4 S see table Used as a clock divider to provide a wider range of
sequencer speeds. Works the same as the BPM in main, but is only active when “Use
Preset Tempo” is on. When on, changing this parameter also changes the main Clock
Divide (see page 14), and vise-versa. When off, changing this parameter has no
effect.
