Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Hi,

(resending this message. The mail client deleted by subject title)

I joined this group since I'm interested in buying an Evolver. I played
both the Mono and Poly keyboards at Guitar Center. Both sound great, but
the Poly Evolver keyboard ($2400) is more than I can spend so I'm
considering the other models.

Other than the keyboard and the large number encoders, what's the
difference between a Mono Evolver Keyboard and the desktop version? Same
question for the Poly KB and the Poly rack.

Is it possible to chain multiple mono units together to get 2, 3, 4, +
notes of polyphony? Maybe I can eventually build up to a Poly by
stacking Monos.

Am I correct in assuming that the Poly models can function like four
independent Mono models, each with their own MIDI channel and patch
setting?

Other than the number of voices and number of keys, what's the
difference between the Mono and Poly keyboards?

Can the Mono Evolver desktop plus a keyboard controller such as Novation
ReMOTE or M-Audio Axiom do a good job of replacing the Evolver keyboard?

I'm strongly considering getting a Mono Evolver tabletop ($600), but I
don't want to get it and wish I had saved for the keyboard version
($1200).

Sorry if these are common and way too basic questions but I've been
unable to find adequate answers.

-- Iain
