EVOLVER 2是Kontakt声音库*，它基于著名的DSI Evolver合成器的最佳声音，可为您提供丰富而生动的模拟声音。
设计目标是为我们的声音库开发一个符合人体工程学的用户界面，以利用Kontakt的高级功能。结果是一个灵活的合成器，可以像原始硬件一样提供发胖而温暖的模拟声音，但具有舒适的软件环境。
大多数音色对速度敏感，并且它们是为现场表演者而设计的，因此强烈建议使用支持速度和触后感的优质Midi键盘。
关于硬件
DSI Evolver是令人难以置信的合成器，它融合了许多Dave Smith和Sequential的旧机密，电路和技术。它使用巨大的四振荡器语音架构-两个模拟DCO和两个数字-带有两个独立的Curtis模拟低通滤波器。
模拟黑客
Evolver是数字/模拟混合合成器。这意味着振荡器和滤波器是模拟的，但是板上的效果（反馈，延迟，失真，高通滤波器和混频器）都是数字的。这个概念对于表演者来说是一个非常有用的功能，但是对我们来说有点烦人-我们不需要数字效果，我们想使用原始的模拟声音！
“模拟黑客”是一种实现此目标的方法：它在板载效果的AD转换器之前分接模拟信号，并将其作为两个分离的双单声道通道引出。 （此硬件修改需要熟练的技术人员，非常感谢绝对的团队！）
结果是真正的模拟声音，无需额外的AD / DA转换。凭借Kontakt的先进功能，我们可以以更加灵活和复杂的方式使用其特有的武器库-这是我们的大目标！
特征：
•符合人体工程学的用户界面
•新的重新缩放的推子（有关详细信息，请参见下面的pdf），以获得自然的感觉
•超过100个定制旋钮，推子和开关，用于控制合成器的最重要参数
•用于24个控制器的可自定义全局MIDI实现
•24个控制器的主机自动化
•3个实时可切换滤波器插槽中的30种滤波器
•完全可编辑的效果：均衡器，2种失真，延迟，2种混响，补偿
•2个具有速度同步选项的独立LFO（波形：正弦波，三角波，正方形，锯齿波，随机波），可对4个目标进行调制：音高，滤波器，音量和声像
•外部源的广泛调制选项：速度，调制轮，通道触后，随机。
•用于声音设计的模板加载/保存选项
仪器
Evolver 2（.nki文件）的Kontakt仪器分为8类：
•EV2 [所有图层]
•EV2 Arp＆Seq
•EV2低音
•EV2实验版和效果器
•DF2键和合成器
•DF2引线
•DF2 Monosynth
•DF2 Pad＆Atmosphere
•基于1.55 GB 24位多采样，总共370个补丁
[All Layers]是声音设计师的专用文件夹。它分别包含所有仪器层。补丁是“干净的”，没有任何滤镜效果，并且具有默认的信封设置。如果您想从头开始创建新的声音，它们可能会很有用。
请注意，这些类别不是刻在石头上的，它们只是我们的方法。例如，当您稍作调整时，您可以将低音声音用作主音，或将多合成琴键用作单音源主音，甚至可以用作打击垫……这完全取决于您！
*请注意，Evolver 2需要Kontakt的完整零售版（v5.5.1或更高版本），因为它与免费的Kontakt Player不兼容（它将在15分钟后停止工作）。
EVOLVER 2 is a Kontakt sound library* based on the best sounds of the famous DSI Evolver synthesizer, and gives you a wide collection of vivid and powerful analogue sounds.
The design goal was to develop an ergonomic user interface to our sound library that exploits the advanced features of Kontakt. The result is a flexible synthesizer which offers fat and warm analogue sounds like the original hardware, but with the comfort of the software environment.
Most of the patches are velocity sensitive and they have been designed for live performers, so a good midi keyboard which supports velocity and aftertouch is highly recommended.
About the hardware
DSI Evolver is an incredible synthesizer that incorporates many of Dave Smith and Sequential’s old secrets, circuits and technologies. It uses a monstrous four oscillator voice architecture – two analogue DCOs and two digital – with two independent Curtis analog low-pass filters.
The analogue hack
Evolver is a digital/analogue hybrid synth. It means the oscillators and filters are analogue, but the on-board effects (feedback, delay, distortion, hi-pass filter and mixer) are all digital. This concept is a very serviceable feature for performers, but a bit annoying for us – we don’t need the digital effects, we want to use the original analogue sounds!
The “analogue hack” is a way to achieve this: it taps the analogue signals before the onboard effects’ AD converters and leads it out as two separated dual mono channels. (This hardware modification needs a skilled technician, so many thanks to the absolute team!)
The results are true analogue sounds, without the unnecessary extra AD/DA conversions. Thanks to the advanced features of Kontakt, we can use its own effect arsenal in a much more flexible and complex way – and this is our big goal!
Features:
• ergonomic user interface
• new re-scaled faders (see pdf below for the details) for a natural feeling
• more than 100 custom made knobs, faders and switches to control the most important parameters of the synth
• customizable global MIDI implementation for 24 controllers
• host automation for 24 controllers
• 30 types of filter in 3 real-time switchable filter slots
• fully editable effects: equalizer, 2 types of distortion, delay, 2 types of reverb, comp
• 2 independent LFOs (waveforms: sine, triangle, square, saw, random) with tempo sync option, allowing modulation for 4 destinations: pitch, filter, volume and pan
• extensive modulation options for external sources: velocity, mod-wheel, channel aftertouch, random.
• template load/save option for sound design
Instruments
The Kontakt instruments of Evolver 2 (.nki files) are distributed in 8 categories:
• EV2 [All layers]
• EV2 Arp & Seq
• EV2 Bass
• EV2 Experimental & FX
• DF2 Key & Polysynth
• DF2 Lead
• DF2 Monosynth
• DF2 Pad& Atmosphere
• 370 patches in total, based on 1.55 GB 24 bit multisamples
The [All Layers] is a special folder for sound designers. It contains all of the instrument layers separately. The patches are “clean”, without any filter effect and with default envelope settings. They can be useful if you want to create new sounds from scratch.
Please note that these categories are not carved in stone, they’re just our approach. For example you can use a bass sound as lead, or a polysynth key as monosynth lead or even a pad when you tweak it a bit… it’s really up to you!
* Please note that Evolver 2 requires thefull retail version of Kontakt (v5.5.1 or more recent version), as it is not compatible with the free Kontakt Player (it will stop working after 15 minutes).
