well there is no real end to the nords sounds as
the architecture is pretty open, providing you spend a lot of time on the
computer making them with the software. The nord is polyphonic, the evoler mono,
the nord can be used as a very good effects unit, configurable to many things;
the evolver is a good effects unit, but more limited to distortion, overdrive,
step filtering and delay with some phasing effects with certain delay settings.
In some ways, they are not really like each other at all. Get both! Here's a
good deal on a new nord I found on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/2clzg

I'm looking for a cheap, ultra-portable, flexible, unique synth and
unique effects processor to go along with my Korg ES1 as a lo-fi
computer-free composition world.
nord micro modular and dave smith's evolver are at the top of my list
right now. Can someone tell me something that will tip me one way or
the other?
I think right now I am leaning towards the evolver because nord sounds
have been explored by a lot of people already. And the evolver is more
constrained so it seem to have more of its own personality (if I want
to tear down constraints I'd just use a laptop, which I'm avoiding).
But the micro modular is slgihtly cheaper and increasingly difficult
to find.
