If you get frustrated with your PolyEvolver, feel free to ship it directly to me :-)

Seriously though, I build patch editors in my spare time (https://github.com/eclab/edisyn) and would really like to make an editor for the PolyEvolver.



The PolyEvolver is one of my favourites - the sounds haven't 'aged' much, unlike most of the 90s synths; would be difficult to let that one go!

Woah - you wrote and maintain Edisyn? Excellent software, and pretty much vital to the productivity (and sanity) of synthesists worldwide; thanks very much for your work!

I use Edisyn for my Kawai K3 (which has an unusable button-and-dial interface for wavetable editing), although it's not on your list in GitHub for some reason. I have the SoundTower PolyEvolver editor, and it's quite functional (albeit within a quirky interface). It also 'unlocks' custom user wavetables, which is helpful. Not sure if that influences your decision to tackle another editor, but I'm sure it would round out your DSI list (and the MonoEvolver would be a natural leader/follower).


Yes, I wrote Edisyn. Hmm, Edisyn has never had a K3 editor; it's on my list if I ever come across a unit. It's got a K1, K4 and K5 editor. How are you using Edisyn with your K3?


Apologies - I just looked for the software and can't seem to find it on my machine - may have been on an old iPad, but not likely to have been your excellent software.


I as almost able to get a K3m locally a while back, but no... :-(
