Dave Smith Mono Evolver in fantastic shape. Second owner, non-smoker. Only cosmetic issue is a small mark on the wood and the pitch wheel which can be seen in photo 5. Comes with manual. More info on this synthesizer:The Evolver marked Dave’s Smith’s triumphant return to hardware synths and still sets the standard for sheer sonic ferocity in a monosynth. It features a plethora of Dave’s best ideas packed into a monstrously powerful instrument with a sound like no other.This Mono Evolver Keyboard, shares the same voice architecture as its sibling, the Evolver, but sports a 3-octave keyboard, pitch and mod wheels, and enough knobs and switches to put a smile on the face of even the most jaded sound tweaker.The Evolver’s unique tonality comes from the synergy of its two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators (which feature the waves from the legendary Prophet VS). Classic Curtis analog low-pass filters and real analog VCAs add ample warmth and girth to the analog section while the digital high-pass filter, tuned feedback, and digital distortion provide sizzle and grit. But what really sets the Evolver apart is the way in which the analog and digital sides of its personality mesh—in a true stereo signal path. Massive doesn’t even begin to describe the sound of the Evolver.Imagine being able to move effortlessly from thick analog smoothness to crisp digital edge—or anywhere in between—and you begin to get the picture. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synced for complex, evolving, rhythmic, time-based effects in true stereo.It’s a sound designer’s dream that can go from ultra creamy to ultra aggressive with the turn of a knob. If you need convincing, just listen to the demos.- 3-octave, semi-weighted action keyboard with velocity and aftertouch.- Spring-loaded pitch wheel and assignable mod wheel.- 512 fully editable Programs (4 banks of 128) Oscillators: 2 digitally controlled analog oscillators (DCOs) with selectable sawtooth, triangle, saw/triangle mix, and pulse waves (with pulse-width modulation), and hard sync; 2 digital wavetable oscillators with Prophet VS waves and wave sequencing capability, FM and ring modulation.- White noise generator- 2 Low-pass filters: 1 analog Curtis filter per channel, selectable 2- and 4-pole operation (self-resonating in 4-pole mode).- 3 Envelope Generators: filter, VCA, and assignable (four-stage ADSR).- 4 LFOs.- Glide (portamento): separate rates per oscillator.- Analog VCAs.- Digital high-pass filter.- Digital delays: 3 separate, syncable, stereo delay lines.- Tuned feedback with "Grunge": use feedback as a pitched sound source.- Distortion and "Output Hack."- 16 x 4 step sequencer: one sequence per Program.- Arpeggiator: up, down, up/down, and assignable modes, and latched operation. Ins and Outs- MIDI In, Out, Thru, and Poly Chain.- Stereo audio input: 1/4" unbalanced.- Main stereo audio output: 1/4" unbalanced.- Sustain pedal input: accepts normally on or normally off momentary footswitch.- Pedal/CV1 and Pedal/CV2 inputs: responds to expression pedals or control voltages ranging from 0 to 5 VDC (protected against higher or negative voltages).- Headphone output: 1/4" stereo phone jack.Dimensions: (H) 3.8" x (W) 25.6" x (D) 12.1" Weight: 12.2 lb.Includes power supply for 110V “ 240V AC operation (13-15 VDC, 700 mA) and operation manual.
