Specifications:

Dave Smith Instruments PK4 Poly Evolver 61-Key Keyboard Features:

  • Keyboard version of the Poly Evolver
  • 61 keys
  • One button per function
  • 78 knobs
  • 58 switches
  • Backlit wheels
  • 4 oscillators in total: 2 analog, 2 digital
  • Analog oscillator waveshape are sawtooth, triangle, saw-triangle, and pulse (with voltage-controlled analog pulse-width modulation)
  • Digital oscillators select from 96 wavetables from the Prophet-VS (128 x 12 bits) and 32 user-loadable (via MIDI) Wavetables (128 x 16 bits)
  • Digital oscillators get trashy as the frequency gets higher, as with the original VS
  • Hard sync on the analog oscillators
  • FM and ring mod on the digital oscillators
  • Separate glide per oscillator, with 2 glide modes
  • Real voltage-controlled analog lowpass filters - not digital re-creations
  • 4-pole/2-pole switchable, fully resonant (in 4-pole mode)
  • Separate filters for channels
  • Analog Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCAs), one for each channel
  • Dual digital 4-pole highpass filters (one per channel)
  • Stereo audio inputs
  • Noise generator
  • Envelope follower and peak detect from external input to use as modulation sources
  • External input can be used to gate envelopes and/or step the sequencer
  • 3 snappy ADSR envelopes
  • 4 LFOs (sync with sequencer and MIDI)
  • Dual (left and right channel) tunable feedback loops; modulate frequency and amount
  • Delay with 3 taps, each with separate time and amount modulation
  • Syncs to sequencer/MIDI
  • Normal feedback and additional feedback path through analog filters
  • Digital distortion can be placed before or after analog electronics
  • 3 banks of 128 programs for 384 total programs - dump to/from MIDI
  • 16 x 4 analog-style sequencer - syncs with MIDI
  • Extensive modulation capabilities including audio-range and bipolar (+/-) modulation
  • Matrix-style front panel with 8 endless-turn rotary encoders
  • Internal controllers and DSP chips can be reprogrammed via MIDI
  • Universal power supply runs virtually anywhere; 100 - 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz
  • Shipped with Euro adapter plugs
