Chaining Multiple Evolvers Together

The Evolver Keyboard voice is identical to the 4 voices in a Poly Evolver (keyboard

and rack), and the single voice in the original desktop Evolver. This compatibility

enables you to chain multiple Evolvers together to increase polyphony, using your

Keyboard as a controller for all chained Evolvers.

Note: If the Poly Chain parameter is Off, the Poly Chain MIDI Output jack acts as

a second MIDI Out jack.

Poly Chain with a Poly Evolver Rack

You can poly chain your Evolver Keyboard with a Poly Evolver Rack for a very

portable 5-voice synth. You should be aware, though, that you will not be able to

control the Poly Evolver Rack’s Combos from the Evolver Keyboard (the Evolver

Keyboard is monophonic and doesn’t have Combos) and that if you use the Rack’s

Mix Inputs, the 1 voice contributed by the Evolver Keyboard may be noticeably louder

than the other 4 voices. The monophonic and polyphonic Evolvers’ outputs are

optimized for the best signal-to-noise ratio. The Poly Evolvers have more voices and

thus require more headroom. In other words, the outputs on the Poly Evolvers are not

as hot as on the Evolver Keyboard (or the desktop model). We suggest using a mixer

to balance the levels. You will also need to load the same programs into both

instruments.

To chain a single Poly Rack to your Evolver Keyboard:

1. Connect the Poly Chain MIDI output on the back of your Evolver Keyboard

to the MIDI In of the Poly Rack.

2. On the Keyboard, in Global select the Poly Chain screen, and set it to the

total number of voices. In this case, the total would be 5; 1 from the Evolver

Keyboard, plus 4 from the Rack.

3. Next set the MIDI clock parameter to MIDI Out on the keyboard (or MIDI

In/Out if using an external MIDI clock to drive the keyboard). On the Rack,

select MIDI Clock In.

You should be all set to play! You can now virtually ignore the Rack, since the

controls on the keyboard will control both units as if they were a single 5 voice. This

includes saving a Program; if you save an edited program on the keyboard, it will also

save the program on any Poly Chained instruments (updated with the latest revision

software).

Note: Remember that if you change a Main parameter on the Keyboard, the Rack

will change also. For example, changing MIDI channels on the Keyboard will also

change the MIDI channels on the Rack, which is likely what you would want.

There are a couple exceptions: if you change Poly Chain or MIDI clock, it is not

chained, since these parameters are usually different in each unit.

Using Multiple Poly Racks

You can also chain more than a single Rack in the same manner. With two Racks, set

the main parameter Poly Chain on the Keyboard to 9, and set Poly Chain on the first

Rack to 8. The second Rack Poly Chain should be set to Off.

On the Keyboard MIDI clock is again set to Out, the first Rack set to In/out, and the

second Rack to In.
