Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

One problem I've encountered with the Evolver is that the stereo signal 
path and multiple delay lines really encourage the programming of very 
wide sounds with crazy panning and a lot of stereo depth.  Stereo synth 
sounds are pretty hard to  place in a mix so I have started to program 
all of my patches in mono.  I also feel that the depth and space that 
delay can create is a choice that should probably be left for the mixing 
stage and so I've tried to stop overusing the evolver's delay.  So those 
are two factors that I think give the Evolver a lot of it's initial "wow" 
appeal (as heard in the presets) but make it tough to use those sounds 
musically.
