Hmmm, it seems as if that could mitigate the problem to some degree,
would tend to oddly skew the behavior of voice stealing (because
voices that fall on the last evolver in the chain will always be
stolen, but voice on early evolvers will never be).  In particular it
seems like it would work very badly in what will probably be a very
common setup:  a mono evolver chained to the output of a keyboard
poly-evolver... all voice stealing would happen on the poor little
single-voice evolver!!
