Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

hi ugo,

good to see you interested in an evo. you should buy one ! it is so 
much fun to programm the evolver right from the front matrix ( i 
don´t need a editor for it ). Compared to other synth programming 
this thing is very easy but at the same time it can be very deep. 
It´s not a k5000 but it can make unbelievable sound fx and all that 
analog stuff. 
The delay section is so unique cuz of the modulation possibilities. 
You have 4 lfo´s and numerous other modulation source that can 
modulate time, amplitude, feedback of each of the 3 delays...and 
sometimes odd pitch changes comes up. very nice - these are the 
basics to programm flanger,chorus and others...
well there are so much things - you can nearly modulate everything 
with everything... my only wish for the evo would be 
unlimited "modulators"

btw: i think your white noise additive patches are the best ones ;)
