Best value: Excellent
This small rack 1 U, with a depth of 15 cm, is much more lightweight than is suggested by the illustration above ...
8 multitimbral parts (dnommes banks), its polyphony is 16 notes only, however the menu options 5 Key mode allows dynamic allocation of notes between the banks or in cascade mode with a second EVS-1. The MIDI functionality is most compltes possible for the era: each bank's channel omni mode off and "group" is the set of eight banks may be on recall a channel of its own.
All Controller of 0127 are recognized and can be activated or not. They may be in the matrix affects the modulation modulation source sounds like LFO, envelopes, aftertouch, etc. VLOC. thanks to the Controller menu changes. Obviously, but you have to use the editor software on Atari 1040, avc 2 MB RAM minimum, then it is an opportunity to re-enable this vnrable computer! ad a PC version also exists (vrifier).
The EVS contains 100 sounds bits/44.1 16 Khz, which only 20 are programmable, but then, what sounds! With combinations of FM, PM, WM and Ring Modulation, often seen on the final models of the FM wave, like the Yamaha SY 77.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the expander is simple, but the demand for shipping sounds srieuses synthse knowledge and not just FM or professionalism. Similarly the software is ncessaire, the manual is very useful for programming, to the point it would be better to renounce acqurir the EVS-1 without this accessory.
He Retailer algorithms, and waveforms that are used for educational Manir trs. How then evaluate such complexity? Positively or ngativement? Another view would be very useful subject.

SOUNDS

May be the EVS-1 he t Designed in the '80s, as the central module of a Hi-tech home studio, but today he is the victim of a fatal ... evolution. He can still occasionally serve as a complment nostalgia.
Personally I do not dsespre program a dozen sounds REALLY INTERESTED in this machine ... Dj few presets are the most beautiful effect and do not seem DMods.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it because I recently acquired and curiosities, and also as part of my studies on diffrent tration forms of synthse, and not in the ide of m ' use it to produce the next Skud. It is well worth the hundred and fifty euros, to me cluck!
Without the program for the Atari, I would not have made that choice.
