It's possible there could be a way of redesigning the Evolver with more powerful processors but that would be a big development job.
I love what the Evolver can do but I also reckon the Tetr4 is a great move. A lot can be done with those analogue voices and I think they've made some good decisions in the way the modulation options have been tweaked.

It's not as simple as adding a few more voice / filter chips - for a start you need the DSP to do the digital oscs, delays, HPF, distortion etc., and you need those additional AD/DA stages to integrate the two as well. So it's quite a bit more complicated and certainly needs more parts.

well, even if more involved than just 4 chips. , they can, and have, done it--- perhaps there is some greater cost, but its not any huge amount more research and development. .. the kit would be mostly a stripped down PER --- mounted INTERNALLY. with only the minimum parts .
