DSI Evolver - Evolverheld | Dave Smith Instruments Synthesizer Demonstration

Published on Dec 12, 2016 Sensenwerk

"Just a little Evolver demonstration.
It's an old track from 2008, created using the DSI Desktop Evolver only (except for the drums). I traded it to a Doepfer Dark Energy a while back. Wasn't too happy with it.
Last year I finally got the PolyEvolver Keyboard (video).
Obviously this can be done with the MEK, too but faster and using real 4-voice polyphony."

"If you like the Korg Polysix but have never heard the Mono/Poly, this is a real treat. Its got 4 voices and each voice has its own set of different waveforms! It can play up to 4 voices in poly mode, but its unison setting is what makes this synth so powerful. imagine 4 stacked voices with their own set of waveforms and parameters. These make, as you can imagine, for some INSANELY epic basses and leads! This synth is in perfect working condition. There are no issues whatsoever and performs flawlessly! There are just some cosmetic scratches, mostly on the corners of the wood panels."

"As you can see, it’s in fantastic shape. It sounds amazing.

Integrates with the modular / CV based setup effortlessly. On-board sequencer is super simple, but also very effective. With all the menu diving and complex onboard sequencing on synths these days, it’s a rare treat to have something immediate that gets results quickly and without much thought at all. With the 101, the real beauty is getting lost in your creativity – not having to think about which button gets you to which menu blah blah blah. It’s all right in front of you here – immediate results. There are lots of tricks to discover that arise from its CV inputs / outputs and Clock In, but that’s for your to discover – I won’t spoil it.

All sliders / pots in tip-top shape, and the slider moves around like it just came out of the box – I’ve seen so many of these units over the years take a beating – broken sliders, missing buttons. That’s not the case with this particular unit – when not in use, the unit has always been turned off and covered to keep dust off the key contacts and also to prevent buildup in/around the sliders. Also included pics of the battery compartment - this can be a major disaster if batteries have leaked out over the years. I’ve never put batteries in this unit, and I don’t believe the previous owner did either."

DSI PRO 2 SNARE DRUM SYNTHESIS TUTORIAL // Synthesize This! Ep.02

Published on Dec 12, 2016 once upon a synth

"Let's try to synthesize a snare drum sound on the DSI Pro 2 synthesizer. The main idea is to simulate the top head, bottom head and snare separetely. We approximate the top and bottom head with triangle or sine oscillators and the snare with white noise. The top and bottom head oscillators have their frequency modulated by an ADSR envelope generator to emulate the response of membrane being struck by a stick. Finally I end with a simple demonstration of what the Pro 2's snare drum sounds like along with a Korg Volca Beats which I've synced via MIDI."
