I suspect the idea is that everybody will have a normal evolver for control
puposes, and so will at least have 5 voices....

Of course, isn't a real tradeoff -- the sequencers are extremley cheap to
implement (just a bit of [non-cpu-intensive] computer code), whereas two more
voices would be fairly expensive (extra analogue hardware + probably a more
powerful DSP required).
