Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

yes, all instruments can and should be used together but that's really
the same deal as with colors or food. you mix stuff according to the
effect you want. i'd never want evolver to sound as dull as the VST
stuff but when i use VST or even nord lead i tend to stick that stuff
through guitar fx, tape echo or similar things to breathe some life
into it. some people might opt to take the opposite route, using only
a coule of evo oscillators at a time with no extreme modulations,
resonance or fx to make it sound more tame.

also, you buy stuff according to taste. if someone who wants to create
squeky clean digish#t had bought evolver, that'd basically be their
problem - you don't buy a hatchet for a letter opener. ;D
