Hello,

I'm new to the list (evolver in the mail, here tomorrow?!), so 
forgive me if I tread on covered territory.

What elektron (another dinky company) did with the monomachine is to 
pre-release it for beta-testing and patch programming for 25% off 
list.  This way, they had lots of hands/man hours reporting bugs and 
tweaking complex patches.  I only had time to create and send in one 
multi-patch, but it was accepted.  I also submitted a slew of bug 
reports, which were all fixed.  Dave should consider selling 20-50 
somewhat discounted poly's for patch creation... but it really 
depends on his schedule, which I doubt can tolerate a month or two 
for patches to start coming in.

Really looking forward to sequencing the evolver with my 
monomachine!  A match made in mono-heaven?
