Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

an editor is essential for the evolver? i disagree. I like the matrix
 for programming the evolver a lot. Personaly i think there is no need
for a editor at all. The evolver is a pure hardware synth and the
beauty of it is to programm it wherever you are. All you need is the
evolver, a headphone and electricity.
