One Small Problem

Before you go thinking you can make perfect, pristine DX-7 sounds with Evolver, it must be pointed out that the aliasing inherent in Evolver’s digital oscillators really “trashes up” your FM sounds when you are using high ratios and/or playing high notes. You may have already noticed that lower notes produce “cleaner” FM sounds.

Another thing is that Evolver’s tuning is limited to cents. In the FM world, small tuning increments (smaller than a cent) do make a big difference.

Like it or not, there isn’t anything that can be done about this, and it will result in some FM sounds producing odd timbres on some notes and not others. So you may occasionally find that the exact sound you want is just out of reach.

But the Evolver FM sound is unique, and can produce some very cool sounds. Rather than clean and sterile, Evolver’s FM sounds have a surprisingly organic quality.

And if you want true DX-7 sounds, used DX-7s are relatively inexpensive these days, as are software versions/emulations.

Out of Tune?

One other thing you may have noticed is that applying FM can make your sound “out of tune”. Because of the nature of FM, even small amounts will change the basic intonation of your patch.

You can correct this by either adjusting the main “Transpose” (or Key Off/Tran) parameter (which is fast, but only gives you half-step increments) or by adjusting the Frequency and Fine values of both of the digital oscillators. Be patientt may not be easy to get it just where you want.

Теперь сыграйте несколько нот. Вы должны услышать хороший, песочный FM звук несколько напоминающий наш первый жестко синхронизированный патч!
