Have been so blown away by new sonic universe openned-up by the DSI Mono Evolver Keyboard! All the immediate tweakability and visual feedback with so many knobs and buttons really opens the Evolver to consideration if you have been wanting to add a real analog to your set-up that is more than a one trick pony--because half, 2 of the 4 osc's are DCO analog osc's, 2 analog LPF, analog vca, etc.
My MEK happens to be the endless encoder version that has been pro-serviced with no skippy encoders and have it polychained to a desktop evolver for duophonic, 4 real analog and 4 digital wavetable osc's. Originally, was going to polychain this second Evolver Desktop in this set-up but came across ANOTHER DSI Mono Evolver Keyboard at a great price, condition, and is the "PE Version", so will have best of both worlds and plan on polychaining other desktop Evolver to it. FYI--you can isolate those analog or digital osc's or of course design sounds with best of both worlds. The keyboard's feel and after touch is as equally great as my Virus KC! Mentioning this because I personally do not like the sound of DSI Mopho or Prophet 08, yet the analog side of the Evolver has so much more character and versatility and sounds very "juicy", much better IMO than the other DSI analog osc's. Perhaps having 4 LFO's, and able to modulate everything by anything is this phenomenal difference?
Anyway, the Evolver makes a GREAT addition to any Virus and synth set-up and cannot wait to have the second MEK this time next week and will run all for stereo outputs of 2-MEK's and the 2 Desktop Evolvers to a Kawai MX8 mixer that has 4 stereo pair inputs, effects send A and B, AND this gem of Kawai MX8 rack mixer from early 90's ALSO has built-in midi In and THREE Midi Thru's, of which are not affected by mixer's inputs as it is a completely independant midi thru and thought perhaps people should know about this versatile and quiet mixer from past with features on it hard pressed to find today in newer equipment. One of two effects sends go to post-fader and the second gives you a choice of pre/post fader. It's a non-powered mixer and actually Kawai calls it a Keyboard Mixer, very nice knoby box and can be found on ebay for $99. usd or less. I actually purchased a second one because of the versatility and utilitarian nature of it in any synth-based set-up. The second MEK is going to rest on far right half of my Virus KB securely, having heavy duty On Stage Stands Z two-tier racks, with just tiny bit of overhang. Once all set-up, will send gear porn pics then start posting compilations on SoundCloud. Hope this helps someone in some way!
