Top Line: MIDI Channel: ALL, 1…16

Select which MIDI channel to send

and receive data, 1 to 16. All receives on any channel.

Bottom Line: Poly Chain: Off, 5…20 – Use this to link multiple Evolvers and Poly
Evolvers into a system with more voices by intelligently processing the keys hit and
passing MIDI data through to the MIDI Out jack where it can be routed to another
Evolver or Poly Evolver. Note that MIDI clocks are handled separately per the MIDI
Clock parameter.

Bottom Line: Prog Tempo: Off, On Use Program Tempo – when set to Off,
changing a Program or Combo will not change the tempo- this is useful for keeping a
constant tempo but using different sounds. If set to On, a Program change will change
the tempo to the BPM and Clock Divide values saved with the Program. When on,
changing the main BPM will also change the Program BPM, and vice-versa. When off,
changing one has no effect on the other.
