Basic Operation
When you first turn the power on, the keyboard will be in Program Mode with the
P
ROGRAM LED lit and the following screen active:
Program: xxx B:x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The top line shows the Program (1…128) and Bank (1…4) number of the currently
selected Program, and the bottom line shows the 16-character name of the Program.
The P
ARAM 1 knob changes the Program, and the P ARAM 2 knob changes the Bank.
The Program can also be incremented or decremented by pressing the +/Y ES or -/N O
switch respectively.
To edit a Program, simply turn any knob. See the Program Parameters section for a
detailed list of all parameters and their functionality. After editing parameters, hit the
P
ROGRAM switch to enable program changes again.
Saving a Program
To save a Program, press the W
RITE
switch and the following screen appears:
Write? P:xxx B:x
Hit: Yes or No
Press the +/Y ES switch to save the current Program, or -/N O (or the W RITE switch
again) to cancel. To store in a different location, use P
ARAM
1 to select a new
destination, and P ARAM 2 for a different bank.
If there is a Poly Chained Evolver or Poly Evolver, and they have been updated to the
latest software revisions, the program will also be saved in the chained units.
Compare Feature: While editing a Program, you can press the C
OMPARE
switch to
listen to the original version. If you press the switch again, the Evolver returns to the
edited version.
Audition Destination Feature: While there is a write pending (see screen above),
you can press the C
OMPARE
switch to hear the target Program destination before
saving. Just be sure to turn Compare off again before you actually hit the +/Y ES
switch to save.
Transposing the Keyboard Range
Use the U
P
and D
OWN
Transpose switches to transpose the Keyboard up or down in
octaves. The LED indicates the current keyboard transposition state. The
transposition changes the MIDI note number of the keys, so MIDI notes sent will also
be transposed.
