DSI Evolver (desktop) Question

Gregor Samsa · Post by **Gregor Samsa** » Thu Dec 25, 2008 5:24 pm

I like the overall sound of this synth from what I've heard (pretty beefy sound it seems), but all I ever see people doing with it are arpeggiated spacey lines and assorted weirdness. Does it do good leads and basses, or is it just a bizzarre atmospheric synth? From what I am hearing pads seem out of the question? I've got some synths already that do assorted weirdness, so I don't want to duplicate.

The devo is after all, a subtractive synth... with tonnes of mods

Which means you can be as simple or as complicated as you feel...Straight up basses and leads are quite do-able

I've heard alot of people here say they love it for pads... I personally like to make pads on poly machines...

The evolver's brand of cutting lead weirdness will perfectly complement the twinkly organic weirdness of your fizmo.

Yes, mainly the hybrid one which mostly hard to emulate precisely on other synth. But it would also do some nice analog bass and lead as well, even the mopho seems to be nicer on that.

Do tell, what experience are you basing this on? Internet demos or the fact that it is yellow?

Did you read the words "seems to be". Read better first before asking. I didn't have to f**k own all the analog s**t made mainly for that by DSI that I feel could be better than something analog with a digital path that I own, just for a very logical personal opinion.

The evolver is great at doing atmospheric stuff and you got to love the sequencer. When programming it I had a tendency to go weird. I mean there is just so much modulation capability and the effects and sequencer just make it a "kid in a candy store" synth. However it can do bass and leads. I think the mopho has a deeper and more cutting sound (and the sub gens) and thus is better at bass and leads but it obviously lacks the digital side and the effects of the evolver. I guess what I'm saying is that if you're mainly after bass and leads go for a mopho or little phatty. If you want a great atmospheric to crazy experimental synth that can do suitable bass and interesting leads get the evolver but that's just my opinion.

Before anyone asks why I'm using this name again... I was just checking my messages on this one and posted before realizing it.

Give it a break, chump.

If you're offering up advice on equipment you don't own or have spent any quality time with, then the rules are very clear :

Offering 'Advice' - don't advise on instruments that you haven't owned, or used to some extent.
Many people come to VSE for advice when considering a purchase: they don't need bad advice. You might be trying to be helpful, but bad advice could result in someone buying the wrong instrument -- and wasting their money.

Heed these words, and heed them well.

Well, I'm actually not offering, but if it sounds like that, OK..fine. Happy New Year.

Okay dipshit, put a sig under your name that says "please accept my opinion as invalid"
Of course, you poor a*s linguistic skills already serve that purpose, I suppose.

Don't worry. It only seems like I am being an overbearing dickhead right now.

Before you start lecturing people about how to understand what you say, learn to say it clearly.
