that only glides when more than one note is held down is selected by setting glide
over 100, where it ranges from F02 to F00 (equivalent to glides of 2 to 100).
Thought not quite Glide related, if you set glide all the way to maximum, it goes to
OFF, which has the effect of disconnecting oscillator 1 from MIDI.
Sync: Turns oscillator hard sync on or off. Whenever oscillator 2 resets, it will
also reset oscillator 1 for the classic hard sync sound.

Oscillator 2
Oscillator 2 is also an analog oscillator, and is hardwired to the Right channel. The
parameters for Oscillator 2 are the same as Oscillator 1 above, except there is no
Sync control.

Oscillator 3
Oscillator 3 is a digital waveshape oscillator, and is hardwired to the Left channel. Like
the original Prophet VS, the digital oscillators in Evolver get quite trashy at higher
frequencies. Following are the controls for Oscillator 3:
Frequency: C -2…C 8 Selects base frequency over a 10 octave range,
from 8 Hz to 8KHz, stepping in semitones. C3 is middle C, the first octave is –2 (c -2,
c#-2, etc.), the second octave is –1 (c -1, c#-1, etc.), the third is zero (c 0, c# 0…),
etc.
Fine Freq: -50…+50 Fine Tune control; 0 centered. Steps in cents (50
cents = ½ semitone).
Wave Shape 1…128 Selects a digital waveshape. Waveshapes 1 - 95
correspond to ROM (preset) Waveshapes 32 – 125 in the Prophet-VS. Waveshapes
96 – 128 are user programmable in the Poly via MIDI. In the VS, the user waves were
0 - 31, and wave 127 was noise, which is not included in the Poly since the noise
source is separate from the oscillators. Wave 95 (126 on the VS) is a “blank” wave,
which can give some options while sequencing waves. The Poly is shipped with
waves 96 – 128 the same as 1 – 31. The user waves can be changed using the
Editor.
Level: 0…100 Sets the volume of Oscillator 1.
Glide: 0…100; F02…F99; OFF The oscillator 1 Glide rate; low numbers are
faster. Normal Glide covers the range from 1 to 100 (0 is no glide). A “fingered” mode
that only glides when more than one note is held down is selected by setting glide
over 100, where it ranges from F02 to F00 (equivalent to glides of 2 to 100).
Thought not quite Glide related, if you set glide all the way to maximum, it goes to
OFF, which has the effect of disconnecting oscillator 1 from MIDI.
