Re: [Evolver] Re: Power Switch

2003-08-28 by mark dunn

the power strip with on/off switchs a good solution,
another, more convenient one is a little rocker switch
unit that has a socket for the power pack jack and a
lead to go to your evolver.  The ones I have seen are
not too short, but short enough to not cause a long
reach from your synth.  I am planning to get a few
when I sell my V3 midi splitter (any one need one,
hint, hint).
