Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi,
also, i own a NM-Rack (expanded) and a evolver. I plan to get the
PolyEvolver too. The Editor for the NM running fine under WXP. No need
of an Editorupdate and there are thousends of patches on the net. I
like the Modular realy much and it sounds very good. 
But, evolver sounds better in my ears, more organic, there is more
life in evolver. Nord - Synth's are allways a bit cool...
