Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Well... IF Dave happened to be making a keyboardless model, guys like 
us that really want a keyboard could always go get one of the many 
little lightweight inexpensive keyboard controllers that are now 
available.

Miles, I'm a little confused by one comment you made.  You said:

"Though I agree with the previous poster that it'd be great to 
basically have the ability to do what N evolvers could do, I hope 
Dave doesn't forget about the `big chords'!"

I don't understand... Could you not play "big chords" with the power 
of several Evolvers?  Also... Imagine the possibilities of different 
sounds on each of the individual notes in those big chords!  Not to 
mention multiple sequencers - one for each "EE" ("Evolver 
Equivalent")!  Of course, you can buy several Evolvers now and "poly-
chain" them together.  It would be cooler, though, to be able to get 
the equivalent in one tidy, cost effective package, without having to 
MIDI a bunch of Evolvers together, don't you think?
