Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hey thanks for the responses.

To be honest I don't find the ST editor that easy to use and the idea
of having a Evolver interface as a VST plugin is pretty cool.

I will check out the instruction manual and do some more research. 

Again thanks for the responses.

Simon
