AHA!! I got it!!. You're not a musician or an accountant, you're a real
estate agent.  It all makes sense now.....

Maybe if you took out a 35 year loan to buy the polyevolver, hedged against
currency fluctuations and the devaluation of hardware synths vs softsynths
over the next 35 years,  and then set up a company for each track you wanted
to write, with yourself as the contractor, and then as the contractor you
also leased out the polyevolver to your tracks on a per-voice per-minute
basis, then your music could pay for the cost of the evolver rather than
you, and everybody can just make profit on top of profit in a fantasy
fairytale world of unbounded economic growth? That would sure be swell.

or.... perhaps you could just stop whining about prices and stop dribbling
on about how to improve the cost structure of things you obviously don't
understand?

I'm not sure which solution is best, which one's good for you?
