Re: [Evolver] How's this? was: rackmount evolver?

Julian i think you are misssing my point,, the fact that i can do 
away with the knobs and that i don't care much about having pretty 
buttons and lights on a rack unit... and that i'm asking for 
something more professional.. does not mean i think that a general 
midi vst or anything else for the matter would come close to do what 
an evolver does,, why else would i be here asking for such a product?
