Basic Operation

When you first turn the power on, the keyboard will be in Program Mode with the

ROGRAM LED lit and the following screen active:

Program: xxx B:x

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The top line shows the Program (1…128) and Bank (1…4) number of the currently

selected Program, and the bottom line shows the 16-character name of the Program.

The P

ARAM 1 knob changes the Program, and the PARAM 2 knob changes the Bank.

The Program can also be incremented or decremented by pressing the +/Y

ES or -/NO

switch respectively.

To edit a Program, simply turn any knob. See the Program Parameters section for a

detailed list of all parameters and their functionality. After editing parameters, hit the

ROGRAM switch to enable program changes again.

Saving a Program

To save a Program, press the WRITE switch and the following screen appears:

Write? P:xxx B:x

Hit: Yes or No

Press the +/YES switch to save the current Program, or -/NO (or the WRITE switch

again) to cancel. To store in a different location, use P

ARAM 1 to select a new

destination, and P

ARAM 2 for a different bank.

If there is a Poly Chained Evolver or Poly Evolver, and they have been updated to the

latest software revisions, the program will also be saved in the chained units.

Compare Feature: While editing a Program, you can press the C

OMPARE switch to

listen to the original version. If you press the switch again, the Evolver returns to the

edited version.

Audition Destination Feature: While there is a write pending (see screen above),

you can press the C

OMPARE switch to hear the target Program destination before

saving. Just be sure to turn Compare off again before you actually hit the +/Y

switch to save.

Transposing the Keyboard Range

Use the UP and DOWN Transpose switches to transpose the Keyboard up or down in

octaves. The LED indicates the current keyboard transposition state. The

transposition changes the MIDI note number of the keys, so MIDI notes sent will also

be transposed.

1 2 ... 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ... 63 64
