Dave Smith Instruments Mono Evolver Keyboard [engl.]

[MrBoxxed]

You were only playing one of 4 sequencers right?

It's a mono voiced synth but can play four secure vets at once right?

Then you could edit each of the sequencers as they play right?

[ProjectLonely]

Im a vst and controller guy but would love just one hardware synth like this to play with and spice things up. Better get saving lol

[damondarkwalker]

I already got the MoPho keyboard (which I love), and I wonder if I'd get anything new out of the Evolver. Not sure if I could ever justify the purchase since I have my analog synth now and the Novation Ultranova for pads/movements. I also have tons of VSTs for atmospherics.

[salvadory]

dear god why blue?- dave smiths stuff is great but his color schemes are ridiculous- the yellow themed mophos are a disgrace - fire your graphics guy---stick with the classic looks dave and then ill buy one of your awesome synths

[Cokoholicar]

@salvadory

wtf does color have to do with anything

[salvadory]

@Cokoholicar everything to me and many others- - just like wood and metal instead of plastic!!!

[avinash240]

@salvadory The color of the synth is what's stopping you from buying it and not the sound? I'm not sure what to say.

[salvadory]

@avinash240 yes exactly for a few hundred more ill buy the classic prophet 08- if i spend more than 500 im also paying for style and looks as well- sound is most important - my point is they look hideous to me- if you dont mind then different strokes for different folks- people at doepfer and moog still make classic beautiful gear

[parosite]

whats up i saw him hit two keys at once i thought it was a mono synth ??

[SlimJayOfficial]

im thinking of buying this one, can this be connected to a computer? soemone reply please

[MarctheDarc]

This is my absolute dream-synth! Too bad i'm financially-challenged atm.

It is without a doubt 1 of the most flexible and varied synths around. Those OSCs and modulations options just make for insane amounts of variation. The true stereo architecture is awesome too - dial in just a bit of L/R-split in the filter-section and hear that sound widen out in the stereo-field, simply amazing...

[liverawkstar]

@MarctheDarc yes - you are right..

the evolved keyboards are the best--

but most people just want pure analog--

foolish

[codern]

this blows my mind

[electronicsdevice]

i love that video

[WolfgangAmadeusF]

Finally i understand everything that this guy is saying.When i hear American,i cant understand shit:i need subtitiles.But when others like German talk English i understand everything.

[Cokoholicar]

@WolfgangAmadeusF

I cant understand anyone from England, Americans fine.... weird....

[TheAstroKid]

@WolfgangAmadeusF haha :)

[guitarharpsichord]

greets from wisconsin ..usa...good demo...will hope to find more about this & Prophet 08 keyboard...peace.

[mynmyself]

mmm.. between this and a slim phatty... different beasts although both amazing... wanna have nice dirty and nasty bass for electrohouse, dubstep and drumnbass... i think ill sudenly buy both, hehe, or maybe even go for a poly...

[ConnorMcLeanMusic]

@mynmyself Bad to base a review off of video demos, but from all I've heard, I think that the Evolver is much more interesting than the Little Phatty. The Phatty is awesome for those Moog basses (It's a Moog, after all), but the Evolver is a lot more flexible.

Also, you may want to take a look at the FutureRetro XS. It's a fantastic synth. Bought one a while ago.

[mynmyself]

@ConnorMcLeanMusic yeah, for sure the evolver has much more patchabillty... but i already own a nord modular g1, so what i was really after was a BIG bass sound (although the nord is capable of amazing crazy FM bass, bassnectar sickness!) ... i already bought a slim phatty for 500€ new on my local store... thats un unbeatable price for an analog synth! and shit, this machine sounds NASTY, although maybe a bit limited if its gonna be the only synth on your studio (only one LFO is a real pity)...

[mynmyself]

Responder a este vídeo... i am even considering buying a Cp251 in order to expand my possibilities (more LFO, and CV outputs)... that would turn my moog into a semimodular analog great sounding monosynth for about 800€, which is a pretty cool price

[DanceMusicProduction]

Great Synth!

[SynthPlaysYou]

Great demo. Does anybody know if it's possible to switch the oscillators on/off using the sequencer?

[8BITAttack]

Wenn ich was brauche dann ist es so etwas *.* GEIL!

[Ubernaut]

1:22 makes me hard.

[christophen16]

why was he holding down two keys, i thought it was monophonic?

[peter47a]

@christophen16 does not matter, the last key pressed is played. There is a technique one can use for solos etc, search on youtube for "alesis fusion solo"

[MeldMagic]

@christophen16

I assume it's to get that portamento effect. Gliding from one note to another without re-triggering envelopes.

[AAAAAC3]

Thanks for the video mate. I'm looking to buy me one of these but can you run the Evolver with FL Studio just like a VST Plug-In?
