PolyEvolver


	[ www.davesmithinstruments.com ]

Lush Poly	Some softer analogue style sounds from the Poly Evolver (and Mono Evolver Keyboard)
Massive Defeat	The second track. A little darker.
Rebirth	This one was composed in anticipation of DSI’s new Evolver keyboard.All sounds from the Poly Evolver, some additional reverb, a few EQs in Cubase.
Anapoly	A short demo with predominantly analogue sounds
Anoxia	PEK and drums from Spectrasonics Stylus
Sunday Blues	Time for spring to come
Blue Ice	Some ambient sounds. Variations of a Poly Multi. Lots of reverb. Note C3 ;)
MonoPoly	Here is my first Poly Evolver song. Well, kind of ;) Overdubbed Poyls and Evolvers.

The following soundclips were recorded straight from a single Poly Evolver, no overdubs, no processing.
I used my keyboard to trigger the chord changes and to vary some sound parameters via wheels and pressure, all other variations and melodies are generated by the up to 16 step sequences that a Poly Evolver can play in multimode.
None of the demos required a complex midi arrangement. Except for occasional solo lines, you hear presets of a Poly in “1-finger mode”.

Analog Groove	I made several similar combos with the same beat, but exchanged 1 or 2 other parts and switched between these. From 2:20 until 3:20 my little MonoEvo couldn't stand to be silent facing the steady heavy beat around and played occasional sololines.
4totheFloor	Switching between 3 different Evolver combos. The long feedback at the end is generated when the step sequencer is stopped.
Dumb&Base	1 combo (means the Evolver in multimode), heavy controller work.
Polyfun	Not quite those lush analogue sounds ;-)
Polypunk	The Poly Evolver offers various modes for envelope and sequencer triggering. This one was made with the “midi gate reset” option, where incoming notes restart the step sequencers.
Tribal beat	Lots of distortion and feedback.
Crimsonpoly	Same as above. The author is responsible for the weird note sequences, not the Poly ;-)
Promenade	4 Evo sounds performing parts of some classical pictures ;-)
Kellogs	Some Poly Popcorn
LayedBack	No defect of my Poly, but overdriving the delay feedback in the end
Poly Variety	Switching between different Poly multis with prog change messages
RockBottom	A Poly multi played live from the midi keyboard. The left hand holds the basic notes, right hand plays the kind of solo line with higher pitch
Nitrogen	Jarreish multi ;-) No midi triggering
Introcombo	Another 1-finger combo. The 4 sounds of the multi were set to different velocity zones
B/B/C	Poly Cream
OverFourty	The result of a funny Poly session. 1 Poly Evolver recorded straight to HD. Few notes, many controllers.
RhythmicCombos	The name says all.
Subsonic	Some Poly pattern
Devious	The sequencer controlling its own clock.


	Some polyphonic sounds in program mode:

Juno Pad	A few standards to demonstrate the richness of the analog sound engine.
PulsePad
Saws
VocPaddy	A combination of the analog oscillators and the integrated digital waves from the Prophet VS
CmajorEtuede	One Poly voice plays a step sequence, the remaining voices were played polyphonic
More Polysounds	A bunch of more traditional sounds played with the keyboard, no stepsequencer.
