Main Row 2
1 Lock Seq: Off, On When set to
OFF, sequencer operation is normal, and
each Program plays its own sequence. If set to
On, the sequence does not change
when changing a Program. This provides an easy way to hear the same sequence
with different sounds. Note that Lock Sequence can be used to copy a sequence from
one Program to another.
2 Poly Chain: see table Poly Chain is used to link multiple Evolvers into a
polyphonic system by selectively passing MIDI data through to the MIDI out jack
where it can be routed to another Evolver. Note that MIDI clocks are handled
separately per the MIDI Clock parameter. Settings:

Only MIDI note data is passed through to the MIDI out jack.
3 Input Gain: 0db… 24d Provides extra gain on the Left and Right External
Inputs. You can select no gain (
0db), or a gain in steps of 3db up to 24d (24db). Note
that when the Input Gain knob is active, the row and column LEDs become a simple
VU meter, with the rows showing the left channel, and the columns showing the right.
The Clip LED is always active.
The Clip LED has a dual purpose – it lights when either the left or right External Inputs
clip, and it also lights when there is a clip on the internal A/D, which follows the analog
circuitry (see signal flow diagram on page 13). This helps set internal levels and
prevent clipping and distortion (unless of course you want it to clip/distort!).
4 Fine Tune: -50…+50 Master Fine Tune control; 0 centered. Steps in cents (50
cents = ½ semitone).
5 MIDI Rec: see table MIDI Receive – determines what MIDI data to receive.
Used to disable MIDI completely, or to filter out program changes or parameter
changes.
