One thing to remember is that often controls == money.

I am curious though; for polyphonic use, using a mono evolver as a
`controller' seems fairly natural, but I wonder if there's a good way to use
it to control multiple patches / independently running sequences on the
expander -- the problem being that even if you add new controls on the
expander (e.g., `select current voice'), the controller-evolver probably
can't see them.

I wonder if Dave will release a new OS for the mono evolver that adds
enhancements for controlling an expander (which would probably be no-ops
unless an expander was attached)...

[But I'd probably buy one as a cheapish way to play chords, anyway. :-]
