Osc Slop: 0…5 The amount of random oscillator frequency slop. The
analog and digital oscillators in Evolver are very accurate, and will not drift. This works
great for accurate sounds, and allows precise de-tuning. The Oscillator Slop
parameter allows subtle amounts of frequency drift. For larger amounts, use a random
LFO or white noise mod.
Env Shape: Exp, Lin Selects whether all three envelopes have a linear
(straight line) shape, or exponential (curved). Exponential is the more natural of the
two.
P Bend Range: 0…12 Pitch Bend Range, in semitones.
In Peak Amt: -99…+99 Amount of Peak Hold modulation. Takes the
momentary peak of the left external audio input, and uses it as a modulation signal.
InPeak Dest: see table Peak Mod Destination - see the Modulation
Destination table on page 34 for a list of possible destinations.
Env Fol Amt: -99…+99 Amount of Envelope Follower modulation.
Generates an envelope from the Left external audio input, and uses it as a modulation
signal.
EnvFol Dest: see table Envelope Follower Destination - see the
Modulation Destination table on page 34 for a list of possible destinations.
Seq 1 Dest: see table Sequence 1 Destination - see the Modulation
Destination table on page 34 for a list of possible destinations. Note that the
Sequencer has a few additional destinations that only work on the sequencer.
Seq 2 Dest: see table Sequence 2 Destination
Seq 3 Dest: see table Sequence 3 Destination
Seq 4 Dest: see table Sequence 4 Destination
Pages 19, 20, 21, 22:
Seq: xx Step: xx
The next four pages are for programming the sequencer. The Page buttons will step
through Sequence 1 – 4 , and the upper knob selects the steps, from 1 to 16. The
lower line then shows the value, 0 to 100, Reset or Rest (Rest is only available on
Sequence 1).
Sequencer Operation
Every Poly Evolver Program has a 4 x 16 “analog” style step sequencer. Imagine four
rows of 16 knobs. It is really a single sequencer with four controls per step, though the
convention in Evolver is to call the four “rows” sequence 1 through 4.
When you hit the S
TART button, the sequence will start playing. In Program mode,
only voice 1 plays the sequence (if one is programmed); the other 3 voices are still
