Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

If you want more experience in programming, then the MoPho Keyboard is a no-brainer in my book.  You won't have the versatility of the Desktop Evolver but you'd have a still hard time looking for limitations in the MoPho.

Plus it has that certain "depth" of sound that will keep your interest for a long time.  

Even though I own a Virus and two Evolvers, the rational (and hardly ever used) side of my brain says that I could get away with owning only the MoPho and some tasty delays and effects.

I'd say the same thing about a used LilPhatty.  Why do the two best "entry level" mono's sound like they were named by a mall rat trying to sound street???

Have fun with your decision,
Tommy

I can get around the desktop Evolver, especially after going through the Definitive Guide, but it's still kind of awkward (you need two hands on the unit), and I've never liked software editors for hardware.
