Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Analog Synthesizer
It's small, it's powerful, it's a synth, an effects unit, a 16 step sequencer... oh yes, it's ANALOG. Not analog modeling, the real deal. The whole array: Sawtooth, Triangle, Saw-Triangle, and Pulse. The Evolver's not just analog either; you get 92 digital wavetable waveforms to choose from. In total you get four oscillators - two analog, two digital. The analog oscillators are hard syncable, while the digital ones can be linked via FM and ring mod. The Evolver offers you a multitude of sound-shaping features you just won't see in the competition without spending several times more. How about REAL ANALOG filters? Lowpass filters are not digital recreations. 4-pole/2-pole switchable, fully resonant (in 4-pole mode). There are two separate filters, one for the left channel and one for the right. The 16-step sequencer can be controlled by MIDI or an external input (oh yes, it has that too). Use the input to process external audio signals via effects and filters. This little beauty will be the ideal addition to even the most discriminating synth lover's collection! Features: Four oscillators in total: two analog, two digital Analog Oscillator waveshape are Sawtooth, Triangle, Saw-Triangle, and Pulse (with voltage-controlled analog Pulse-Width modulation) Digital Oscillators select from 96 wavetables from the Prophet-VS (128 x 12 bits), and 32 user-loadable (via MIDI) Wavetables (128 x 16 bits). The Digital Oscillators get trashy as the frequency gets higher, a...
