Pulse?

Pulse?

2006-04-03 by all@istar.ca

Greetings,

	Most every sound from the Evolver Mono edition has a pulse or 
beat that I can't seem to control or modify.

	To be frank, the Evolver Mono is stretching my abilities and 
is perhaps just too much for me. I am considering returning it. In 
the meantime, if someone might answer this basic question I would be 
grateful.

	Best wishes and thanks - Christopher

Can you please go into more detail about your patch setup? There are entirely too many mod sources available to be able to narrow the issue down with your description.
Please start by answering these questions:
Is this a new or used unit? What are you controlling it with? What patch are you using? Is your controller sending any funky messages?
Then check your mod sources:
Filter mod
FM Levels
All LFO destinations
All Mod destinations
Env 3 destination
Key Velocity destination
Mod wheel destination
Pitch wheel destination
Filter & Amp Env key velocity routings
Trigger settings
Last but not least, and I'm not trying to be rude, did you read the manual?

Some patches have sequences associated with them that turn on if you press the sequence button. For those, just press stop.
Some patches have an "automatic sequence" associated with them that is based on the TRIGGER MODE. IF you want that to stop, change the TRIGGER MODE to a more normal setting -- you MUST read the manual for this.
Otherwise, you may download hundreds of extra patches for your evolver and replace the sequences you don't like if you don't feel like dealing with reprogramming.
The Evolver is *not* a super complicated synthesizer compared to many others, but then again, even simple synthesizers require some time and effort before one "gets it" unless one simply wants to scroll through presets.
But extra presets are available if that is what you need:
