Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I must admit not really using mine, the Alesis A6 has so many knobs its much 
more appealing and the nord modular just has so much everything... so yeah I 
dig the evolver but I'm not actually choosing it very often at the moment

Like others I'm awaiting the new editor because the hardware interface, 
although a great minimal design, is just not very appealing to my brain and 
fingers, especially the sequencer
