[sdiy] AES Meeting - Evolver

[harrybissell]

Well... I took it as a public-service announcement.  I didn't know it even
existed...
or who Dave Smith was (since I don't remember any posts here from him)...

so I rushed to the site... and found a very cool synthesizer to add to the
(long) list of machines
that I don't absolutely need to own...

OTOH its higher on my list than the new Voyager (due to the lower price)...

Younger guys will have to take up the slack  ;^P
