Yes Odyssey is good. I like that sound. I think i'd be happy with something
along those lines.
What I don't want is anything digital sounding, for I have plenty of that
already.
The price for the Evolver is great, but I'm not sure if it will be too
ermmmm digital, although I know it has an analog oscillater. Which is why I
really need to hear it first hand.
I have listened to some mp3s btw, I'll try some more tomorrow.
The ATC-1, may be too expensive for me, if it is twice the price of the
Evolver.

     Many thanks for your advice/ links already. I'm open to any more
advice.
    But of course hands on experience can't be beaten.
