Evolver DCO popping   Message List

Ok gang, I am about to ruin your Evolver.

I read this post:

p


...and I said, "No this is ridiculous, I have had an Evolver for 4+ years. I've
never heard this."

So I got home, dialed up a simple patch. It's true, it's there, and now that
I've heard it, I can't STOP hearing it.

To repro:
Create a simple patch using the ANALOG oscillators - one or two. Make sure the
envelopes have short attacks.

Play enough low notes that you cycle all the voices your evolver setup has on
the low note - one note should be sufficient for standard MONO setups, 4 for
standard POLYs. So, tap a low C 1-4 times.

Now start to tap some high notes - an octave or two above middle C.

Listen. What you will hear is that each voice that transitions from a low note
to a high note will produce an audible "clopping" - a wide-frequency
glitch/click as each voice goes from the low note to the high note.

Apparently it can't be fixed.

The digital oscillators don't have this issue.

I know the Mopho has this issue, but i don't ever remember hearing it on the Evo. I'll have to give it a listen. But even the popping on the Mopho didn't...

Well there was some interesting discussion, including the suggestion that an option to have the oscs reset on note-on might stop the effect. I don't consider...

I tested this on my PER and at first I didn't think what you described was happening. I was listening for a higher pitched audible click of some sort. But then...

Well, since we've all been happily making music with them for a good number of years now, I doubt this is a "ruiner"....
yea
