Re: [Evolver] Re: Evolver Rack - Capabilities vs. Price

Hi Ski,

Do you know if poly-evolver can be used multi-timbrally, not just as a 
4 voice poly instrument?  I often use my evolver for 2-3 different 
parts and then process loops through it or resample things with it when 
working on a song.  I have been thinking about getting another one just 
for processing sounds, but this rack might be a perfect choice...

Anyway, I have to learn to save some money here :-)
