John from Soundworks Audio breaks down the new EVO5.

The EVO5 features a powerful effects processor at 24bit/96kHz that can be fully edited. It features 8 basic effects: Delay/Echo, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Transformer, Panoramic, Pitch and Reverb, and all effects parameters can be edited.

Moreover the EVO5 offers the new and revolutionary possibility to chain 2 basic effects and so create complex customized effects. A total of 64 different complex effects can be created, named and saved. A precise BPM counter with reliability indication synchronises the effects. Another new feature is the synchronisation by pattern that allows controlling the effects in an extremely creative way.

There are also 2 dedicated Microphone effects: Noise Gate and Compressor (also editable). Personal effects presets can be imported and exported using a computer via FireWire with the EVO5 external software (included).
