Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

i think this is the same problem with all instruments of different
tonalities - an electric guitar can totally drown woodwinds, KORG M1
piano doesn't really mix with real, soft instruments etc..

basically, for me it just means that evolver isn't a do-it-all synth
for every occasion - which i didn't buy it as, luckily. also, i tend
to avoid most "virtual" analog synths because of the fact that just
one monophonic analog (or proper digital) synth with character
(evolver, ms20 etc) can sound much better and communicate more than 10
virtual analogues stacked together.

so yes, i have the same experience and believe in it :D
