Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

okay so its strictly an expander/module thingy, that would suit me fine as
it will make it is cheap as possible!! - I'm not joking, its an important
issue. I guess some pc/ mac programmer will be necessary too though I would
never use it myself: I think a 16 knob/16 led evolver2 would ultimately be a
MUCH better proposition and I'd happily pay the extra $100 or whatever for
the extra knobs... dunno about the rest of the world.

to be honest I'm so impressed with the evolver I'd probably buy a multi
version whatever it was, as long as I can carry it to a gig with my bad
back!

I wonder if a DSI digi/analogue drum machine has been
considered??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????? machinedrum is just too expensive for us
mere humans -  reckon DS could do a good job
