Do you own any 1u rack synths?

Well, it being a RACK and missing more than half the buttons and knobs 
than the desktop, it is inherently more difficult to program.  This goes 
for most any 1u rackmount synths,  like Access Virus racks for example. 
  It's world's different and difficult versus a full desktop version. 
Heck, I use the editor with the silgle Evolver version b/c it's quicker 
and easier to navigate.  Just like I do with the Virus and it's included 
editor.

Plus the editor is both mac/pc,

I say the fellow who thought about going backto the regular evolver is 
making a big mistake.  Having the eight knobs isn't worth it to me.  And 
if tactile editing is a must,  I say save a few more pennies and get the 
keys version.  Don't go back to single voice evolver just yet,  play 
with the editor.
