Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Wow, great- love the sounds, is it mostly Poly? Can I see the .evp ?
Please! 
Agree with the rest of what you say though I think the mind is the
main factor, to have a grasp innerly of the sound, then the rest will
follow. however quality of hardware- controller is crucial, at least
for me. Even though i am basicaly guitar player, it makes lots of
difference, all the difference actually.
In the end in is not really to imitate a real flute but borrow the
qualities ( of expressivness) and use it with another instrument-synth
in this case, creating something different, using the possibilities
that real flute does not have.
