Digital Waveshape Descriptions
« on: November 16, 2015, 08:21:44 PM »
Here is an invaluable list of the Evolver’s digital waveshapes, with abbreviated descriptions of each one.  I've gathered it together from two or three different sources.  Unfortunately, I’ve never found a key to each abbreviation.

As the manual says,

“Waveshapes 1-95 correspond to ROM (preset) Waveshapes 32–126 in the Prophet-VS. Waveshapes 97–128 are user programmable via the software editor. In the VS, the user waves were 0-31, and wave 127 was noise, which is not included because the Poly Evolver has a separate noise generator. Wave 96 has a Waveshape that is unique to Evolver in place of the VS noise. Wave 95 (126 on the VS) is a “blank” wave, which can give some options while sequencing waves. The Poly Evolver ships with waves 97–128 the same as 1-32."
