DSI Evolver - tweaking parameters

[009relic1]

i would rather be tweeking that girl....

[RaphaelGb6]

The best demo of DSI Evolver. Great sound!

[jezmondo66]

Just got one, love this synth!

[mpresev]

WOW!!

[wazdrop]

Fuuuuck, can believe what i heard

Superb

[ctmexperiment]

Thumbs up if you like the bewbs at 2:24

[Esaelectronics]

its so funny, on youtube ,people are always moaning about this or that,

thanks for the vid, a nice grungy sound!.



[remixerone]

This demo its very ugly, dont show the real power of Evolver... the distorts and ultrafeedback effects are on very basic setup studios, the Evolver is a real beast with more than overdrive effects... Evolver really are a modern Pro-One/Prophet VS...

[WRITETHESOUND]

Wicked !

[bombm]

Listen at around 2:10 when he raises the HPF, it's not clipping the input, it's a distorted patch!

[Tplkkvkk]

@bombm no you are an distorted patch

[WRITETHESOUND]

@bombm ...True, It's the patch. I own a Poly Evolver and know this pre set....Lots of feedback and distortion.

[TheRealCritique]

dont own this keyboard and prob nto interested, because from what I've heard, DSI products don't sound much better than Reason. Vintage analog generally, although there are some modern products, like Korg radias that are good. Of course, like I said, I can't judge the sound of the keyboard from this video because its so poorly recorded. That said, I've yet to hear a DSI demo I liked that much.

[pathogenocide]

um, the Evolver absolutely trashes the synths in Reason, quite rudely.

[MrBoxxed]

Keep it happening......I like the vibe......

[TheRealCritique]

The keyboard costs 2400 bucks, so what are you talking about. I know my facts, and the facts are this recording is distorted and clipping, and of zero worth is assessing this keyboard.

[Analogger]

I happen to know my facts as well - and here's one for ya. President Lincoln was NOT assasinated. He only had the wind knocked out of him. Now get back in the tool chest!

[InfinityTrident]

@TheRealCritique

You obviously DON'T know your facts, lol. Who sells the MEK for $2400? If thats what you paid, they ripped you off. The MEK retails for $1200.

[TheRealCritique]

I have to agree that the audio quality of this post is doing no service to this 2k plus keyboard. Kind of nuts to have a keybpoard that sounds so good, and not be able to set your levels properly....I wont say what it says, but it rhymes with toiled stitch

[ledheavy26]

What are you talking about? Toiled stitch? Uh and check the price on the keyboard before you go dissing people. Get your facts straight before you open your mouth.

[haikousei]

if you are rich and have no money problems then you really should get both Moog Littly Fatty and DSI Evolver. Personally, I love the Moog Sound more than DSI since Moog influenced me the most growing up.

BUT, if you are like me, poor and have money problems, then the DSI Evolver is the most logical choice because you get more for your money. Its the better deal.

[pathogenocide]

you're talking the Moog sound vs. the Sequential Circuits CEM sound. the Evolver isn't as deep on the bass end but can go further with drones and pads. .. If you want an affordable synth in the same class as the Phatty, get a Waldorf Pulse +. .

[madichelp0]

2:24 you failed in making this video look like a porno ; ) jk

[nseign]

i don't care who you are spend a week with this incredible machine, get to know the guts of it and you will love it, but i will also say it does take SOME patience once you get it down it's easy peezy tho

[nseign]

i agree the great thing about evolver is that because of it's versatility the only way to categorize it's signature sound is to say that there is no signature sounds, you can have warm textures piercing solo souds fat bass or just plain f*ck all noise

[nillzhillz]

does anyone know of anything other synth that can get those harsh sounds? i love em. i want that...and im looking at the korg radias at the moment. but i doubt that can deliver. i want something fullsize too

[starbearer76]

is it possible to repost this without the CRAPPY mp3ish low resolution sound? seriously... you can't really make out any actual quality of the synth because the quality of the playback on this post is so terrible.

[lavakava]

sounds very harsh...i don't like digital oscillators...that's why i am getting the prophet 08...for digital, i always have my korg synth and vst plug ins.

[Analogger]

the two main oscillators are analog as is the lowpass filter - exactly like the Prophet 08. The cool thing about the Evolver is it also has an additional two digital osc featuring waveforms from the incredible Prophet VS. You can combine fat analog with harsh aliasing for some unique textures. The distortion and feedback controls allow for some additional sick harshness that is painful at higher volume. Sweet.

[nseign]

the evolver is the greatest bargain analog synth of the past two decades. period. and i have TONS of gear, it packs more punch than anything near it's price range

[Analogger]

gotta agree with you there. The "bang for the buck" factor is off the charts.

[johnthebaptist23]

Hey... i am currently looking for a new synth: how does the DSI Evolver compare with the Waldorf Blofeld Desktop?

[WRITETHESOUND]

@lavakava The digital oscillators are great ! just this pre set you don't like........

[mindphlux]

holy shit that looks sick

[powersv2]

I wish I bought a polyevolver instead of a mono desktop evolver.

[Sailjunkie61]

I just ordered one...I'm curious to see how it fits in my rig. I'm a big fan of arpegiators/sequencers (ala. Ozric Tentacles). I'm looking to midi up multiple arpegiators (Juno G, Access Virus Ti, Korg MS2000R and now the Evolver). Can't wait till next week:)

[787Bisurdaddy]

The Evolver has to be one of the best synths in recent times, and an incredible value for the money if you ask me. The keyboard with its multi-line display looks pretty nice, but I've already got a few MIDI-capable keyboards so I went with the cheaper tabletop version. I LOVE it but tweaking can be a little daunting at first.

The digital oscillators sound great, too. I think they really add to the analog sound.

[DelectaNoctem]

Sounds amazing

[DennisBastian]

Damn, thats some intense shit! Did you use the output hack on this? Anyway, sweet video with even sweeter sounds.

by the way i sure hope thats not a gibson lp at the end...

[MarkSkizzoo]

Got mine yesterday, its SICKENING. Makes my ears bleed

[pontikeli]

i want this keyboard.....

[MarkSkizzoo]

fuck...that fat guy at that concert at the end just loving it. HAHAHAHA

[Analogger]

I had just detonated a blockbuster on stage that shook the house. I had placed a box of confetting on top of it. The crowd went apeshit. This was in Central Florida where they love explosives. This was the last time I ever did that - a piece of the blockbuster ricocheted off a guitar case, hit the back ceiling and then hit an upstairs bartender in the stomach. He had a raspberry the size of a baseball.

[rideXD]

how much did that gear cost?

[dsilver010010]

keyboard 1200

[loicthefrenchman]

does the girl on the pool table come in the package with the Evolver? I am sure she helps you get some inspiration too :-)

[chitalker]

i have a mono-evolver missing me in my room right now. (oof, how is work going to get me famous?!) my ion, and microkorg collect analog dust. (what? the microkorg?? whatever, i sold it once and missed it. bought it back. it still gets unique sounds) buy an evolver, it gets more fun than this.

[Analogger]

I don't need the poly evolver. for me the Prophet 8 and the MEK would be the best.

[mdl76]

I like the Poly cause Im greedy ;-)

[Analogger]

Well, I think it would depend on the music you wanted to make. I hope to someday get the Prophet 08 to use along with my MEK. The Evolvers are great for radical sounds. Before my MEK I played a poly evolver at the music store but didn't really like it. Problem was the room was filled with kids triggering hip hop loops on all the Rolands and Korgs. I couldn't hear shit! Even so, it is very expensive for 4 voices. The Prophet will give you 8. - I haven't heard it yet in person - hope to soon.

[existency]

I want it *drools

[fizzydiodes]

terrible audio or sound . . . i am guessing thats a mistake ? inane creativity

[Analogger]

I think one of the diodes might have been a little "fizzy."

[Velvetgoldmine92]

First of all, hands down, of all artists i have seen on youtube performing their own original music, you are by far, in my opinion, the most INSANE and best!

You are literally more than qualified to be a well known recording artist.

Plz let me know if you start releasing material. :)

[meinldrummerocdp]

you're attracted to synthensizers!?

ew!

[casavan]

I am hehehe actually i dont understand the chick inserts

[keyfish]

Hot chick! . . . HOTTER synth!

[wearehearhere]

Hey there,

I instantly bought this beast after viewing your videos. Thanks for showing that stuff...

[gregdanger]

I've been tossing up whether or not to buy one of these for weeks, and I think you've just convinced me.

nice big, evil sounds.

[armalyte]

ive onwed the evolver desktop, the poly evolver keyboard and the i have kept the synth version of the evolver, simply because the poly was overkill in a mix, the desktop was too convoluted to do the "sexy, meaty" stuff.

ever since using the keyboard version, ive knocked out loads of stuff with it for soundtrack use. its a really underrated piece of gear, and will deservedly acquire legend status in later years.

:-D

[Analogger]

I agree with you on that. Its just the "perfect" version. It is destined to be a classic.

[dontaewinslow]

can u play us some presets??thanks

[Analogger]

be glad to...stay tuned!

[groovewerks]

That sequncer trigger factory 24 bass mod deep part is slamming. Lovin it , lovin it i'm sitting here! tugging on my splif and i'm feeeling it. yeah dis is DET! Ride twist and turn that evlover.

[groovewerks]

The white noise low filter part is Det! And the break downs are cool. if you record these tweaks over midi and play back and capture the best parts you gotta tune you should get out there. Remember the best music comes from when your having fun.

[Analogger]

true that, bro!

[teflon]

Its hard to appreciate the complexity and expressiveness of this instrument. All of the cool things he did with the knobs can be assigned to controllers and affected all sorts of modulation sources as you play the keyboard. I have a Poly Evolver and it is truly like no other instrument I have ever played. Simply amazing!

[coma46]

Quick question...... well maybe not a quick question but meh. I am on grade 8piano and im trying to get back into music after a long departure from it and my mates are banging me on at me about getting into synths and midi keyboards etc. I have no idea about anything like this! but i am a wizz at computers and other electronical things. Is something like this easy to use? Is the evolver an easy piece of equipment to get off the ground for someone with no exsperience?

[cub005]

easy to get a good sound from, but maybe not easy to master - you could look at the poly evolver, which will allow you several notes at once ( demo on the right) or better still start with a much simpler digital synth, then work your way to a poly evolver, a6 andromeda, or prophet 08 later on. I'd say have a look at the korg x50, yamaha m06 , and roland juno-g first.

[Analogger]

I agree with cub005. I think the Juno G would be cool. Since you are good with computers you might look into soft synths. There is a magazine published in England that I buy once in awhile here in the states. Its called "Computer Music" and every issue they have a DVD with tons of free software - including synths and efx. Is amazing! Also...Ebay is a good place to get used synths. Look for that Yamaha and Roland stuff. Good luck.

[coma46]

ok i have just brought a CME UF60. No idea what im doing with it! Cant get it to work or do anything... any ideas? lol! x

[blackrabbits1]

The cme uf is just a controller. You need a synth module or a softsynth to make it produce sounds. Its a solid controller though if you learn how to use it.

[jboy917]

blood in yer underwear? no big deal! in the late 70's i had a memorymoog and killed my neighbors dog with it, boy was he pissed...

keep it up dood...

jonboy

[civ1]

cool chick shots on pooltable

[BigFatTonyCal]

That is a great keyboard/Synth. But 5 min of that gave me a headache.

[Analogger]

It didn't give me a headache when I recorded it...but when I listened back I discovered I had blood in my underwear. I'm not an expert, but I just don't think that's right.

[cjdrifter79]

is that a cool monosynth?

[Analogger]

I really like it. The Evolver can do so many things...but the key is what YOU can do with it. I have a Minimoog and the Evolver can't get as beefy bass sounds as my Mini. But the Evolver is light years ahead of the Minimoog as far as programability, midi, efx, etc. There is a a 4-part 16 step sequencer that can route voltages to any parameter. There are so many modulation options that the Evolver is like a modular synth. And it blows the doors off my software synths.
