The Poly Evolver's digital processing is tightly integrated with the analogue electronics, giving tuned feedback, distortion, bit crushing and synced delays. It can produce sounds that range from classic analogue tones to brash, edgy digital sounds and is multitimbral, capable of playing up to four parts simultaneously through separate stereo outputs. Each voice has an independent 16 x 4 step sequencer, and everything syncs perfectly to MIDI.
The synth has two modes: Program and Combo. In Program mode, all four voices play the same sound. In Combo mode, voices can be allocated however you like, whether you want to stack them all for a huge unison sound, split or layer the keyboard, or play one or all sequences at the same time. Each voice can respond to a different MIDI channel.
The Poly Evolver has 78 knobs, 60 of which are potentiometers, and 58 buttons including a keypad for direct access of programs. This makes sound control extremely accessible, saving wading through endless menus.
