Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Not exactly...true "wavetable" synths like the PPG, Microwave XT and 
Fizmo use a _different_kind_of_synthesis_ than the Evolver is capable of.

Not in my opinion but there are those who would argue vehemently that 
that is the case ;)

I've owned a number of first generation Microwaves over the years and 
always ended up letting them go as I could always program nearly 
identical sounds from my XT (much easier too I might add - 44 knobs!). 
The *Wave* however is a different matter...I can get extremely close but 
not *quite* "there" - thats why I have a sampler (gasp!) ;)

The Evolver just sounds *different* though it can, on occasion, be 
reminiscent of a Waldorf Q in its more "digital" moods...

Very Best Regards, James
