Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

evolver has 4 osc for one voice
prophet has 2 osc for one voice

pek with more than 4 voices would cost a lot more and for what i 
understand why the chose for 4, was that more would be overkill soundwise
do you ever read or understand signalflow charts that are in the manual???

the only analog poly synth thats is new and has more voices is the andy

others are pure digital

evolver is hybrid

o yeah don't get smart ass like a lot of people in the synthcommunity 
nit picking everything and the ever so bored digital vs analog talk, etc
enjoy making sounds, nothing is perfect!
