Tweakhead....the Evolver's tuned and untuned feedback loops allows THREE inserts *per each of 4 oscillators*, just about anywhere you want, then there's the delay that has 3 or 4 places of choosing, then there's the OUTPUT *HACK* which pretty much does everything the "OTTO BISQUIT" can do in real bit crunch...on and on!
Been talking to other Evolver folk that have dabbled in modular and they say that the Evolver is unique in that it's a little bit more than "semi-modular" under the hood. Highly recommend the Mono Evolver Keyboard over Desktop because it's night and day difference with so much immediate hands on knobs/switches.
The Virus certainly can captivate my time but the Evolver makes me neglect eating, water, and bathroom breaks to point have had to literally run to relieve myself!!
I imagine running the Virus through stereo external inputs and utilizing the feedback, filters, and envelopes will be maddening!
On another topic, I am discovering just how extremely awesome the Virus effects are. May end-up trying to feed just one channel of Evo into Virus ext in then run one channel of Virus into one ext of Evo, then take remainder ext. inputs and repeat and see what kind of skronk happens, minding low levels on monitors of course.
I have done ALOT of web searches on use of external inputs on various instruments and mostly only hits of doing so with drum machines, making me think this awesome ability is not exploited in way engineers hoped people would.
Tend to look way outside the box and these kinds of experimentations are exactly how new things are found by experimentation!!
