Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Indeed, the Evolver is full of strange, wonderful quirkiness!!  I've 
used some of those buzz instruments and effects as well... so I know 
what you're talking about. ;)  You can use Buzz effects in fruity 
loops also.   You know, not to tempt you with something else you 
don't need, but you might REALLY like Reaktor 4.   The included 
instruments are a real step up from 3's and it gives inspiration to 
understand and realize it's full power.
