"The Evolver is an analogue-digital hybrid synthesizer designed by Dave Smith (the designer of the Prophet 5 and many other classic synths) and manufactured by Dave Smith Instruments.
"The synth comes with several mapping templates installed so whatever DAW you are using simply choose the template and they knobs are already assigned."
"The Clavia Nord Lead 2, released in 1997, is a member of the highly-regarded virtual analog synthesizer line from Clavia/Nord. This thing is loaded with features, as you’d expect. It offers not only exceptional sound, but also a superb hands-on experience for real-time sound manipulation, perfect for live performances. In addition to all the critically-acclaimed character and sounds of its predecessor, the Lead 2 features 16-voice polyphony, a ring modulator, and more LFO and arpeggiator waveforms. The Lead 2 is an extremely powerful unit made to perform at the highest professional level. Don’t miss this one!
This particular unit is in good condition, with some minor scratches, coloration, and peeling paint (please see photos). This unit has been tested by our professional technician and is working perfectly. All keys, buttons, and lights are working perfectly.
MIDISoft MIDI module attached. Internally powered. Allows full control over all functions like an OB-X."
MIDISoft MIDI really opens it up. Click here and scroll down for some demos and info. I owned an OB-SX minus the MIDISoft MIDI and it definitely one beefy sounding synth. Sounded more beefy than my OB-Xa. I beleive it is closer to the OB-X in sound. That said, the interface is very limiting. Think preset synth vs full blow synth. The filter only has a cutoff knob, no resonance. The MIDISoft MIDI should open it up.
"For day 7 of Jamuary I decided extend the jamming to video as well as music :) On the music front Im simply playing the soundplane in a free improv. On the video side, I brought out the Critter and Guitari Eyesy, and 'jammed' along with what Id played.
I really love the eyesy, for creatiing these video effects quickly, where it can react to the music, and also allow some hands on control.
details....
Music side: Improv on the soundplane playing Madrona Lab Aalto into Vahalla Shimmer and Vahalla SuperMassove.
Video side: Audio into Eyesy, video capture with a very cheap device off ebay. Eyesy is generating visual from audio using various 'scenes', where I use a green background, and 'green screen' video I did a couple of runs with EYESY, then brought them into Final Cut Pro. I added the main video with a sepia fx, to help the graphics stand out. then overlaid eyesy video, added keyer fx (green screen) - then chopped up bits of the eyesy images I wanted.
note: no additional fx were used in FCP, except crossfade transitions.
this sounds more complicated than it really is, its actually a very quick way to add additional video fx."
