Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

thanks everyone for your posts...will be looking into this and considering new ideas...selling tons of gear (well, not tons but i never sell anything) to buy new toys...thinking, in a while, about trying to find a poly evolver rack...i'm sure i'm amongst the 1000's that use the genetic algorithms to begin building new patches, but i'd be really interested to hear some random genetic hits from a poly just to hear how much more complicated they might be...my work is experimental, but with a fairly heavy sound design element, so the poly is interesting in that respect...no need for a keyboard though...has anyone made the jump and found it to be hugely rewarding, or just a bit more rewarding?  <sigh> money!
