Poly-evolver keyboard has no mix input

2005-02-14 by Miles Bader

I saw the picture of the Polyvolver KB's rear panel on the DSI site, and
noticed that it's missing the rack's "mix input"!

I guess maybe the thinking on DSI's part was that people would just
always use polyvolver racks for expansion, and feed the keyboard's
output into the rack's mix input -- but this is kind of a bummer for
those of us hoping to use a normal mono evolver as a single-voice
expander for the keyboard (-> 5 voice poly, just like prophet).

Any of you guys with Dave's ear care to ask him about this?  Don't
forget us poor mono-evolver owners...

[Since the KB hardware seems almost a clone of the rack, I can't imagine
having a mix input would be very hard to implement, just the cost of
a pair of jacks...]

Thanks,

-Miles
