Re: [Evolver] Re: Any chance for evolver 2?

I probably do!  Never noticed.  I bet it looks ludicrous, sitting there 
with this weird silver box and a giant ceramic dish of high powered 
espresso, bobbing constantly.  Maybe I need to not be doing that 
anymore.  ;-]

Changing the environment is huge for me when it comes to being able to 
do the same thing for huge amounts of time.  Some sort of ADD thing I'm 
sure... always rearranging my home or whatever.

Back to topic:  I'd like to see a few more modulation slots.  I'm 
probably showing my Reaktor/Nord/Fenix roots a bit too much here, but 
I'd love to see another pair of modulation assignments on top of the 
four freely assignable ones that exist.  I can't count how many times 
I've desired one more mod routing.

As for interface, it'd be slick to get one more row on the tabletop 
Evolver's UI - where the shifted parameters let you assign a knob to 
any other parameter in the synth, and the unshifted just controlled 
that parameter.  Sort of force an 8 knob interface onto the thing, 
customized per patch.

The internals are rock solid though, I love the thing as it is.  Even 
without a headphone jack.  ;-]
