Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Thanks, not that different from what I tried- the basic set- but I see
where I have to work some more.
All Evolver sounds- interesting, I will be probably getting one.
Question, rack or keys. I am so disappointed with pathetic quality of
most of the products on the market.
The only keys I really like are new Virus but I am not at all
interested/impressed by the sounds, specially after getting hooked on
Dave`s sound quality. Got Novation X station yesterday, the second
best keys that i found. Damn, it is such piece of junk, buttons get
stuck everything is so plasticy, cheapo, sounds- doubt will use any
ever- only soundcard impressed me 40 latency- looks like world record
to me, and i thought 12 is bad.
The problem is, everything else is worse (even relatively expensive
Clavias have lousy keys). Seems only way is to get your own build- I
have a prototype ( still looking for chassis builder) with same keys
like the TI and it is so much more I can get out of Evolver because of
the accuracy and the "feel", the Evo+ great keys makes me feel like
playing.
There is no place I can try Poly keys, how good are they ? Otherwise i
may get parts from Doepfer and get something made.
