DAVE SMITH MONO EVOLVER KEYBOARD / DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER

The Dave Smith Instruments Mono Evolver Keyboard is a monophonic, performance-oriented synth.

The Mono Evolver Keyboard 's voice architecture is identical to its siblings, but it sports a 3-octave keyboard, pitch and mod wheels, and enough knobs and switches to put a smile on the face of even the most jaded tweaker.

Dave Smith Instruments Mono Evolver Keyboard:

• Monstrous four oscillator voice architecture: two analog and two digital
• True stereo signal path with separate Curtis analog low-pass filters in each channel
• Dedicated onboard effects (feedback, delay, distortion, high-pass filter, etc.)
• Highly accessible sound control for easy, intuitive operation: 58 knobs and 33 switches
• 16 x 4 step sequencer really brings the Evolver to life with evolving “pseudo-polyphonic” sounds – you wonÂ’t believe it's mono!
• Stereo audio input for audio processing of external stereo or mono signals, enabling the synth to act as a unique stereo effects processor
• Everything (sequencer, LFOs, and delay) syncs perfectly to MIDI
• Easy-to-navigate matrix-style interface for quick editing and real-time control of 8 parameters simultaneously
• Multiple Evolvers can be daisy-chained for increased polyphony
• 3-octave, semi-weighted action keyboard with velocity and aftertouch
• Spring-loaded pitch wheel and assignable mod wheel
• 512 fully editable Programs (4 banks of 128) Oscillators: 2 digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCOs) with selectable sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves (with pulse-width modulation), and hard sync; 2 digital wavetable oscillators with Prophet VS waves and wave sequencing capability, FM and ring modulation
• White noise generator
• 2 Low-pass filters: 1 analog Curtis filter per channel, selectable 2- and 4-pole operation (self-resonating in 4-pole mode)
• 3 Envelope Generators: filter, VCA, and assignable (four-stage ADSR)
• 4 LFOs
• Glide (portamento): separate rates per oscillator
• Analog VCAs
• Digital high-pass filter
• Digital delays: 3 separate, syncable, stereo delay lines
• Tuned feedback with "Grunge": use feedback as a pitched sound source
• Distortion and "Output Hack."
• 16 x 4 step sequencer: one sequence per Program
• Arpeggiator: up, down, up/down, and assignable modes, and latched operation
• MIDI In, Out, Thru, and Poly Chain
• Stereo audio input: 1/4" unbalanced
• Main stereo audio output: 1/4" unbalanced
• Sustain pedal input: accepts normally on or normally off momentary footswitch
• Pedal/CV1 and Pedal/CV2 inputs: responds to expression pedals or control voltages ranging from 0 to 5 VDC (protected against higher or negative voltages)
• Headphone output: 1/4" stereo phone jack
• Includes power supply for 110V – 240V AC operation (13-15 VDC, 700 mA) and operation manual
