Dave Smith Evolver Ring Mod Test // Does Your Evolver Do This?
Why does Ring Mod 4x3 sometimes sound different than Ring Mod 3x4? If anyone could test this for me and reply with their results that would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to figure this out and with more people responding we are more likely to get an answer from Sequential. This is something that i have been trying to figure out for a long time now. When you have osc 3 and osc 4 set to different pitches and different waveforms sometimes the ring mods between them will sound different. I understand somewhat how a ring mod works i think, it takes two signals and multiplies them together. If it is simply taking the output/waveform from each oscillator and multiplying them together, then why does the order in which it is performed matter? Sometimes they will sound the same or very similar. But sometimes they are two completely different sounds. I think its most apparent for me when there is difference of one octave or more between the two oscillators but this is not always necessary. It is also easy to reproduce when there is any fm involved either FM 3x4 or FM 4x3 but this is not necessary either. When i first encountered this i thought there might be something wrong with my evolver. Then i later got a 2nd evolver and it exhibited the same behavior. I know this one video will not convince anyone, but i will upload more tests later with me talking about it maybe and show it on two separate evolvers. I invite anyone that sees this to play around with it for a little while. I showed that the two oscillators when set to the same pitch and waveform sound the same. In this case it was C1, shape 65 and a level of 80. I have read of a few people having problems with the output of oscillator 4 specifically. But mine is working fine here. I tried to remove all other variables. I went step by step and showed that all modulation was off. The only thing thats on is the routing for seq 4 which controls the VCA and allows me to sync the audio easier. I know there could be slight differences in the two filters because of their analog nature. This is even mentioned in the manual. But i tried to bypass this in a sense by having the filter completely open. Also the differences between the two final outputs when using the ring mod could not be explained by slight differences in the filter in my opinion.
