fun review at harmony central

2003-08-20 by Ravi Ivan Sharma

Price Paid: US $495

Ease of Use: 8
this is not your bread and butter synth.
Presets are good and useful but needs to be sexed up by you.
editing the sounds is easy but its quite hard to edit the secuences.
it always turns out cool however.

Features: 7
ONE voice were talking monophonic but wait...It sounds like a massive modular..it blurps and rattles ...its alive!
Only delay but it can sound like a flanger.or a chorus.Now it sounds like a reverb.AAAAAGH!feedback in my ear!Now its a delay again.Phew!
Oops now its distorting!AC/DC in a box?
no expansion(we got Rumsfeldt for that)But yes a onboard sequenser.Wich is quite hard to program if you want to make ...melodies?Really easy if you want to make a whooping delaydrone with a chorus of falsetto frogs in unison with a dragon in heat.

Expressiveness/Sounds: 10
Realistic sounds?Sure it sounds like the buzz comming out of Ken Keasys hippiemobile if you know what i mean. This baby together with a sampler and a midiclock and you can create wierdness galore.Or just on its own for thoose lonly hours at the psychiatric care facility.
Just add headphones.(and a Y cable).This is all the analog sounds you need.And it will rip right throu any mix.And it will utterly destroy all sanity.

Reliability: 10
Thou shalt not have any synthzisers next to the evlolver.
Do not mistrust in Evolver your Lord.For she will guide your music in all your misdeeds.Look at the other keyboards.Weak they are.You shall utterly destroy them with the saudering iron,and then rejoice!
For the Evolver is your synth and its name is jealous.

Customer Support: 8
Dave is a great guy!
Buy direct from him,its the best way!

Overall Rating: 9
This will never leave your studio once you get to know it.
It sounds like nothing else in its price group or size for that matter.Maybe it would compare with a modular synth of some kind.
But its not bigger than a videocassette!And so cute!Maybe it could have bben easier to program...but its just a few knobs and buttons so there is bound to be some cutbacks.Still a great score if you like analog sounds.

I believe Moses did mean the first bit when he came
down from the mountain and got confused, though I read
elsewhere someone referring to a particular synth as a
"she" and they where corrected, as obviously by
listening to it, the synth has _balls_ and is
definately not a hermaphrodite!

I think this also applies to the Evolver, unless it
lives up to it's namesake and becomes A-sexual, like a
banana tree.  I hope so, I would like to wake up one
morning and find a baby Evo starting to sprout from
his midi out socket!

Lately, I have been doing a little cross breading, the
Evolver species seems to greatly enjoy mating with
later members of the GameBoy family, especially when
it's using the nanoloop mating call.  Must be looking
to pass down that nicely lit colour screen, but the
GameBoy is has got him stepping to her tune(the "Boy"
part is a leftover from her Ziggy Stardust days). 
She's been playing him, building him up with talk of
how she wished her wavetables where as exciting as his
and how his tuned feedback was to die for, but really
she'll only stick around until the next duel filtered
synth shows up.....but little does she know that
Evolvers been getting some on the side with that nice
poly with the exotic skin across the way!(wonder if he
knows that it's really a wig?)  

Though, really I think he is getting that call from
within to join his fellows so to form into a single
entity and achieve contact with beings from a higher
sonic strata thru polyphonic precession, (beckoning
others to join their chorus), thus fulfilling the true
prophecy Moses corrupted and Darwin mis-interpreted
(thought the Voltron was getting close).

and so it was writen(the end)

learning, the cultural sharing, etc.!  ;o)
