I'm interested in picking up a new synth in a few months, but am not certain if it should be a used desktop evolver or the desktop mopho, or perhaps a mopho...
heya, mopho and evolver are quite different beasts. while mopho is concentrating only on obtaining classic analog sounds(with the help of the sub osc) - deep...
I perfectly agree....90% of my 30+ synths are digital oscillator based and I have them for the smooth, evolving, complex and layered sounds they add to my...
every synth has its "voice'--its personality. You really have to try a few to feel out the diffrences. You might just simply love one over another.I would...
I have an Evolver and I love it, the triple tap delay is great, the feedback is amazing, the digital oscillators are capable of amazing things. I use the...
... If I could do it over I'd avoid the desktop models and go for a keyboard version with lots of controls, especially if the keyboard has aftertouch. I can...
I have an Evolver as well, and recently tried out a Mopho. They are different beasts, and to say that Evolver can do everything that the Mopho can do is not...
I pretty much agree with all of this. I have both as well. I'm thinking of getting the keyboard mopho so that I have the controls all right there, plus the...
+1 for the Evolver. And I agree the digital oscillators can be beautiful. I had a Prophet for a while, but kept coming back to the Evolver because the kind of...

Hello. I'm thinking about getting one of these poly evolver keyboards. I currently have a kurzweil pc3 but since I'm blind, the menus are a bit much for me to...
Quick question, I'm looking to paint the wooden end caps on the poly evolver keyboard black and was wondering what would work best if anyone else has some some...
Scott, I do not have any direct experience with the new polyevolvers with the potentiometer option, however I would imagine it would be much more user friendly...

Hi James. Thanks for the info. I was also considering the possibility of a different setup like using a midi controler like the CakeWalk a-800 with a dedicated...
Scott, unfortunately, I don't know of any new synths that would fit that criteria. The only think I could recommend are classic analogs. I think the most ...

Hi James. I can use menus to a degree but what I find troublesome in most new gear is that they are rolllover menus that don't have a zero point. So when you...
Hello Scott, even if they are not consider top of the line synths u can have a try at the Roland SH201 and the new GAIA no menus nice simple UI, cheap , good...
Can I suggest looking at the new Roland Gaia? Or Nord Lead 2x? These have entirely front panel interfaces, no menus, no screen. and are plenty capable too....

Hi. I had another question about the poly evolver. Is it a good synth for drones like if I wanted to create a tamboura sound like they use in indian music? ...
You know, the Vermona PerFourMer might just be perfect for you. They recently stopped making them, but its very simple to program with tons of stuff in knobs, ...
Scroll down to the bottom and listen to "Iain Bryden - Cold Drone." It's a droning patch I made for the MER. I don't think you'll get a tamboura sound though. ...
Hi, I’m trying to program a Midi Solutions Foot Switch controller to be able to start/stop the MEK sequencer using a foot pedal. If I use the midi note...
The MEK can't receive or transmit start/stop messages. The only way to do what you are looking for is to apply the setting that lets the MEK sequencer to play...
Hi, group, I have a beautiful MEK, mint shape. I changed its knobs to larger, solid-aluminum ones which are chunkier aand easier to twist, plus they look...
Hey everyone, I just got my MEK yesterday and I'm working my way through the "Definitive Guide to Evolver" by Anu Kirk. Suffice it to say that I'm a complete...
I'm a newbie but did already do a search to try to find help on this. First I'll explain the setup for my question. I selected Program 128 bank 1 which shows...
Hi Scott I'm a newbie here and have the Mono Evolver Keyboard. It is a truly wonderful keyboard, but I would imagine that for your purposes, the potentiometer...
