Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolving Pads

Published on Nov 9, 2019 synthlegends

"Demo of evolving Pad sounds from the DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard polychained with the Poly Evolver Rack, so it has 8 voices. There are only PEK sounds on it and no additional effects, mastering or equalizer. Although there are 4 seperate stereo outputs (the same in the Rack), I only used one pair of stereo outs in this video.

I erased my video with the same title from two days ago because of very low audio quality. I have to appologize for it.
Some say the Evolver series are harsh sounding. Maybe it is because of some interesting effects like tuning feedback, distorsion and output hack. Neverthelesss you can achieve very warm tones and the instrument is capable for evolving pads thanks of the two LP Filter you can set individually in the stereo field.

Also with the 3 tap delay you can program chorus effects and take usage of the 4 LFO plus the third envelope and the step sequencer.

Even the digital OSC can sound very warm, when you use in a subtle way the Ring Modulator or FM effect.

The Synthesizer has a very big dynamic range. Everything is recorded life from the two synthesizers out from the PER mixer with two channels directly to the audio interface.

Thanks for watching and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me in the comments below. Cheers."
