Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I'm am thinking of ordering an evolver online, but here in PHX, there 
are no dealers who carry them, so I have to rely on descriptions of how 
it sounds.

I don't trust commercial reviews, which have more then once sold me an 
otherwise mediocre product. So, I'd like some opinions.

A person whom I trust, who actually creates and sells patches to some 
synth makers as a sideline, told me that he had an evolver for a few 
months but sold it because he couldn't get fast enough atack from the 
envelope generators to get good analog lead sounds.

Do you aagree with his assessment?

thanks

Keith
