[ElevenBravo]

Nicely done!

[flux302]

don't now if I' ve commented on this before but... Great video. you effectively induced my drool quite a few times. may have to pony up for this.... would LOVE to hear this run through some metasonix gear.

[Goth108]

makes me getting unsure if i want the evolver as in this video or the mopho.. what do you think is better for beautyful vintags sounds and sounddesign?

[Naynap81086]

@Goth108 Get the Evolver! It can do the vintage sounds, some of which you hear here, but is also capable of much deeper sound design (also on display in the video) thanks to it's delays, digital osc's, highpass filter, hack options... all things the Mopho lacks. The Evolver's feedback is also tuned, the Mopho's isn't. Not that the Mopho is bad, but get the Evolver first, you definitely won't regret it. I forgot editing too, the matrix on the Evolver is easier than editing the Mopho.

[RetroElectroville]

Love the sounds @ 7:02 & 7:20

[danielthecoolmachine]

dude.. i have one question... can i plug via midi mi keyboard??

[Resodeus]

@danielthecoolmachine of course!



[striderkyo]

This kicked ass.

[astroboomboy]

Wow, this gave me so many ideas! I made a song the other day using the evolver, but now I'm going to try and make a more experimental piece!

[lanzauno]

sick vid

[kr61ab67]

Absolutely great demo !!

[shiva420]

So this video is making me want to purchase one of these. As previously commmented this is by far the best demo of the evolver on youtube... i just hope that i can get as good as you if i do buy it :)

[culturaleyes]

Can the evolver desktop be played with a controller keyboard, to play notes in real time like a regular synth does, or can it only do step sequencing?

[sweepstakes]

@culturaleyes It can do both. I don't own one but the manual is available for free on the DSI site and it details its very generous features.

[Resodeus]

@culturaleyes of course

[revdom666]

I was very torn on purchasing the Evolver or starting up a modular system. Your video sold me on the Evolver and showed me how this machine can do much more then what I first thought (all with just using built in effects and sequencer, WOW). Thank you for your sick skills and keen sense of sound.

[vintagesynthlover]

Can this send midi-notes to other synths, to play sequence with other synth?

[belikewater313]

@vintagesynthlover it's a step sequencer in it.

[reaper7695]

If I am correct, the Evolver desktop has four oscillators, each with its own internal sequence. However, if I wanted to use an externnal sequencer, such as the MPC 1000, to control each oscillator seperatly, as in create 8 sequences on the MPC and want to trigger 4 different sequences to thedifferent oscillators and switch patterns, would that be possible. If so, which MIDI channels are the different oscillators operating on.

[acido909]

tell me: how are you playing the evolver? i mean, i dont see MIDI connections... and there's no keyboard... how can u create notes and patterns? thanks!

[letronchosier]

Very skillful, a pleasure to listen.

You sold me the synth too (but I want the keyboard version)

[cortexFLS]

nikel

[FloX795]

Perfect. ;P

[shadowkunt]

If this is what the mono does then fuck me, what does the poly do!?!

[hanklepstein]

@shadowkunt chords

[GeeJayDavies]

JONTHEBAPTIST WEYMOUTH?

[johnthebaptist23]

I ended up gettting the most recent DSI: the Tetra

and I am totally blown away...it really expands the range of my Moog 'Phatty'...so thanks for introducing me to DSI :)

[rocksau78]

amazing...i love this machine

[johnthebaptist23]

I am currently shopping for a desktop synth:

what would anyone of you recommend?:

the Waldorf Blofeld or the DSI Evolver?

[minichuaman]

both!!  :D

[lesscunning]

excellent.

[mindgarde12]

Sick ass sequence work man... This is one of my favourite videos on youtube. DSI at it's finest great job!

[Sailjunkie61]

This has a midi in, thru, out, so I am assuming that, not only can it drive, but it can be driven by other arpegiators/sequencers? I am looking to connect it with a Juno G, Access Virus Ti, and Korg MS2000R.

[hellvines]

These Evolver videos are helping me learn mine a lot faster than I thought! So many thanks.

[alespardo]

how many parts does it have, it's multi the evolver?

[blitzdj86]

only mono. but the internal sequencer is split into 4 16 step parts..

so you can route one 16 step sequence to each of the 4 oscillators, and have 4 single oscillator parts.

[stanbekker]

amazing, this is a song on its own.

[haikousei]

i am very impatient with user interface that is not user friendly, how is the ui on this thing? i like the sounds and i want to get this, but the ui looks like a problem?

[01vv10]

It's actually not that hard to get to grips with. I had a play with one last week, I just bought one off ebay :) There is a computer editor available from the DSI site that makes it even easier to edit, only $49.

[YpsiSynth]

I find matrix interface nice

[acido909]

Hey, cool synth. Does it works alone or needs an external MIDI device to control it? Has an internal sequencer?

[01vv10]

Yes it has an internal 16 step sequencer, and each patch can store it's own sequence.

[hieronymusrex]

GR8 Post, THANKS!

[radambe]

makes me miss my MEK....i'll have to get another evolver of some flavor one of these days- hopefully sooner than later

[F3D375]

FANTASTIC..... nothing can be said anymore!

Compliments!

[generek]

Its hard to believe all of that sound came out of a single Evolver.

[martinp268]

Very nice sounds and sequences.

[co211]

i've had one since 2002,they are indeed fun. i think the most bang for the buck. don't be fooled by the simple looking interface, the synth engine is amazing..4 tempo delays,4 sequencers,4 lfo's,4 osc's, curtis chip analog filter, for the price you cant beat it

[GuyInChair206]

you got talent, kid!

[branbilling]

is this thing hard to make good music come out of???

[PaPyKoG]

nice layers...

[williamgatesenson]

wizard!

[mindgarde12]

This is the best I've heard anyone use the evolver. Is there any way I can get the audio from you?

[Dubreak]

Very nice, kinda underworld sound to it. All it needs is a big stomping 909 to kick in.

Very nice anyway, thanks for upping this.

:D

[zahush76]

There's a step sequencer in all the evolvers. The mono evolver has a 4x16 step sequencer which you can program yourself. The patterns you are hearing were created by him, and did not come as one of the patches of the instrument.

[DH328]

i want to thank you for doing a demo that is not just utilizing the synth for ridiculous rave and breakbeat sounds, but actually shows the functions of the device. nice vid, man.

[px19]

fucking awesome. every second. knob twiddlers kick ass. the sequence reminds me of steve reich.  in and out of phases but with the same notes

[PhotoAnimationGuy]

I have watched this vid many times.

This is by far the best evolver demo/performance online period!

I'm serious, DSI himself should have you making his demos since no else out there is really exploiting its features like this.

Thanks!

[soundwidgets]

Can all these params be controlled via MIDI, too?

[bakfullape]

yes, using cc's.

but that only works with the 3.0 os.

[p51superace05]

Great vid! There aren't many good Evolver demos on here yet. :-)

[tranceaural]

Totally mesmerising....wicked stuff.

[ValentinTsoy]

Thank You For Help. Hello

[asynchronicity]

very best evolver demo yet -- thanks!

[PhotoAnimationGuy]

very nice. props

[Analogger]

Fucking beautiful! Nice job! DSI packed a lot of features in that little box. I'm saving up for the MEK. I plan on doing some serious "zoning out." thanks for posting. Keep it up!

[evening1]

absolutely wonderful

I love my MED!

[p0pel]

big tunes, selectah!

[hvyen]

Great sound for this monophonic machine. I know many mono-machines, but the most have the same sound. This one is very analog-like. I love it, thanks!

[dodgyrecordings]

it is... well.. analogue.

[generek]

Partially, its half analog, half digital.

[5Ttruck]

better left at partially...

the signal path is digital beyond the oscilator...

you want analogue get something from the 70's...

[johnisfaster]

there was a hell of alot of analog made in the 80's too if you haven't noticed

[TTibble]

WOW, thats fuckin trippy

[verydisco]

beautiful sounds¡¡ youu should produce a track using this pattern as the base, great ;)

[Arddhu88]

Yep, that is really cool, gonna have to pop down the local Evolver store and pick one up methinks!

[shagghie]

Totally wonderful demo of just exactly how to use this little beast. I graduated to the MEK, and now have sold it, and will be going back to the DEVO. I used it mostly for effects, so for me was no reason to have those keys, and getting around on the DEVO is really not that bad after all...as this demo so wonderfully shows. Thanks for this...going to bed now on a good note.

[ghostradioshow]

>>Denkitribe

Thanks! I think so. Evil in a little bluebox.

>>takiakitsoujie

Thanks! I think so. ;-)

I also wanna get mono/poly...

[takiakitsoujie]

I think it's like a korg mono/poly...

[Denkitribe]

Nice demo. I think Evolver is the most powerful (and reasonably inexpensive) monophonic-analog synth which is still in production.
