actually yes, I forgot to mention that, in my patches I do use a series of 
very short delays, this helps create the effect of a resonating pipe (or 
string). A little noise, especially on the attack is also good. I am not so 
sure all this would be so useful for a harmonica - maybe it would if the 
delays were very, very short... these delays could also be modulated for 
some interesting effects but I haven't tried that yet....

I think one reason the evo works for me as a limited physical modelling 
synth is that it sounds so damn good. The basic sound of more capable digi 
synths like the vl70 or nord modulars is just not as thick and physically 
immediate - the evo kicks, like the oberheim matrix 1000 it doesn't 
neceassarily sound too realistic but it has real weight and dimension, more 
like a real instrument.

The new promise of midi CCs, which i've been requesting for ages, will 
really open the evo up as a windsynth/physical modelling synth for me :))
