Re: Poly Evolver Keyboard - how many made?

2009-10-23 by motorzot

Good on ya!

I'd keep the MED and purchase a small mixer to balance the outputs.  I recently picked up a Rolls MX-28 micro-mixer and while I don't have a keyboard Evo yet it will clearly do the job and with a small footprint.

When I find my keyboard I'm definitely keeping my MED not only as an extra voice but also to have a portable Evo for patch programming:  sit on the couch in front of the television with the desktop and use SoundTower to transfer patches to the keyboard.  Best of both worlds.
