Miscellaneous Parameters - Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Operation Manual

Misc Parameters
The Misc Params section lets you configure a variety of parameters not found
elsewhere. The parameter list is printed on the panel for easy reference. Use the
Select knob to choose the desired parameter, and the Value knob, Param 2 knob, or
the +/Y or -/N
ES O
Voice Volume: 0...100 – Sets the voice volume; usually used for matching volumes
between Programs.
Name: The lower LCD line will display the name of the Program. The P
selects which character is currently active, which is indicated by blinking the
character. To change the character, use the P
+/Y or -/N switch
ES O
Trigger Select: see table – Selects the source of triggers/gates for the envelope
generators. Some of the Trigger modes will automatically turn the Sequencer on. This
allows gated-sequence Programs to be played without having to manually hit the
S /S switch. The Trigger modes that do this are marked in the table as AUTO.

Envelope Trigger Selections
The envelopes will be triggered by either the
sequencer or the keyboard. When triggered by the
sequencer, the gates are on for half the step time.
Simply adjust the envelope parameters (ADSR) for the
desired effect.
The envelopes will be triggered by the sequencer only.
The envelopes will be triggered by the keyboard only.
The envelopes will be triggered by the keyboard, and
the sequencer will be reset on every key (if it is
running). The sequencer will not trigger the envelopes.
Gated mode – the envelopes will be triggered by the
sequencer when a key is held; in other words the
keyboard will gate the sequencer. AUTO
Gated mode, reset – same as Gated mode, except
every time a key is hit, the sequencer is reset to step
1. AUTO
The envelopes are gated by the Left external audio
input signal level, in other words, when the signal gets
above a fixed threshold, the envelopes start. The
envelopes then go into the release phase when the
signal level drops below a second fixed threshold.
Same as external in, but also resets the sequencer to
step 1 if it is running.
External In signal will gate the sequencer. AUTO
External In signal will gate the sequencer, and also
resets the sequencer to step 1 on each new gate.
