 Play a “C” chord (middle “C”), and you’ll hear a pad sound.
 Move Pickup A to a position around 0.75, and the pad will become a little sweeter.
 Move Object 1’s position to a value of 0.84.
 Move Object 2’s position to a value of 0.34.
 As a final step, click on the Points icon that features five dots in the Morph Pad
section.
 Set the Int slider in the Morph Pad Randomize section to a value of say 25%.
 Click once on the Morph Rnd button.
 Save setting as… with a new name—say “vanilla_pad.”
You’ll be using this basic pad sound for the following examples. Don’t be shy about
doctoring the “vanilla pad”—anything goes, so make use of the Filter, the Delay, EQ,
and Waveshaper to create new sounds.
Evolver
 Load your “vanilla_pad” patch.
 Click on the LFO 1 tab at the bottom of the interface.
 Click the 1 button, and play the keyboard. Not much difference, there, huh?
 Now, click-hold on the Min/Max sliders, and drag left and right, while holding down a
chord. Finally settle on a value of 0.15.
 Click-hold on the Target (Pitch), and select Object 1 Strength. You’ll hear a fluttering
sound.
 Now click on the “sync” button, and adjust the Rate knob to a value of 1/8t.
 Activate the second LFO 1 object by clicking the 1 button, and select Object 1
Position as the Target.
 If you play the keyboard, there’s not much that’s different.
 Set the via option of the second LFO 1 object to Velocity.
 Play the keyboard at different velocities, and you’ll hear some shifting of the Object 1
pickup position … and now, to make it interesting …
 Change the Waveform to Sample&Hold, and play the keyboard at different velocities.
If you’ve got a sustain pedal, use it. Listen to the endlessly evolving sound.
 You may like to experiment with the project tempo and LFO Rate.
 You may want to alter the Spread Pickup value, and introduce LFO 2 or the other
modulators.
Morpher
 Load your “vanilla_pad” patch.
 Click on the R(ecord) button in the Morph Trigger section.
 Play a chord on the keyboard, and drag the Morph Pad ball in a circle.
 Once you’re done, press the R(ecord) button.
