but its also 6 voice poly.)Įsq-1 is maybe a little far from what your looking for, but I think it's one of the most underrated (or at least underpriced) synths ever. If you can build stuff or find one for sale, the Ambika has a lot of digital sounding waves, analog filters (better sounding than DSI's), and a built in step sequencer as well, but it lacks the delay lines and a lot of the stuff that the evolver has for making things dirty. (I actually sold my blofeld because I found the editing to be painful as well. That being said, I do plan on picking up a keyboard version eventually and seeing if I can get along with the interface better, because the sound really is special to my ears.Īs suggested Blofeld might be an option. Oh and theres A and B pages on the matrix as well, so sometimes you turn an encoder and it doesn't do what you'd expect, so spend another minute trying to figure out whats going wrong before you realize that it's actually on the B page and you were adjusting the wrong thing.

just hunt and peck for 45 seconds trying to find it in tiny text somewhere on the matrix'. It felt like none of the matrix was grouped together in any kind of logical manner so it was never like 'Oh envelope 2 controls are this 3rd row down' more like 'oh where is the envelope 2 amount control? Who knows. But the desktop evolver was just horrible. I'm not opposed to matrix style interfaces, I have an A4, an esq-1 and have had a few other things that do the matrix style editing. I liked it.īut I found the user interface to be terrible. Probably one of those sounds that you either really like or really hate. I actually really loved the sound, its very unique sounding.
