Mono Evolver keyboard finally announced!!!!!!!

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

This is what ive been waiting for - an affordable true analog monosynth with its own keyboard. Until now its only been a handful of expensive rackmounts or mega expensive Voyagers. Now Dave has finally come up trumps and made a 37 keyboard version of his very successful Evolver desktop.

All yours for approx $1100

Hmmm...

$1100 on a new mono synth, or I could buy a vintage analogue poly AND a vintage analogue mono synth.

I know what I would choose....

Which vintage analog poly are you referring to?

Im getting the impression your thinking of 1 Osc poly's and mono's.

Id take the 4 oscilators of the Evolver over those type of alternatives. Besides....Id like to try out some new analog synths...I tried/used all the best old ones

what about new age monophonic modular systems?

[3o3]

I would never pay the price they are asking for.. I would buy a Pro-one, MS10 and a SH101/MC202 instead of just that one machine!

But then again that's just me

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

I think a Pro-One would be a good choice....but personally i wouldnt bother with the likes of 101's or MS10's.....not if i already had the P1.

There definitely is a want factor for the Evolver, but I think along the same lines as the other guys - specially considering the prices here.

Nice synth though.

first audio sample of the mono evolver KB.

Before people get a wrong impression of the Evolver sound, I'd like to add the disclaimer from my site:

Please keep in mind that the above sound examples are not representative for the unit. The Evolver does NOT always sound harsh, distorted and weird and is NOT always detuned ;-)
The sounds only demonstrate my way of programming and playing.
In fact the Evolver has an excellent tuning stability and one can program all kinds off analog stuff as well


:wink:

[Khazul]

Whats the difference between the synth engines in this and the rack evolver?

Ie is this a rack with a *very* expensive keyboard built in? :)

[DocT]

There is no difference, the sound engine is the same as in the Desktop Evolver. And it's not the keyboard that is expensive but the countless encoders ;)

[Khazul]

Thats true - it does have alot of knobs on it ;)

No funky blue wheel tho :cry:

Actually - thats the one thing missing on the TI keyboard - transparent backlit wheels :)

[F5D]

The module would be nice but I want more control (knobs). The keyboard on the other hand costs too much for me.

video is up on sonicstate now.

[~+?]

It's mine haha :twisted:
Pro 1 for sale anyone interested? :D

[Khazul]

Or a dse monobox (which are quite cheap now) and say a novation remote (sl) 61...

Stacks chepaer and in theory basically the same. (?)

[Tomer=Trance]

but your geting much less control this way,the mono evolver keyboard layout is made aspecialy for it... it is made so you dont have to go thru any manus
