Are there _any_ synths out there that are otherwise?
Seems an odd question...

yes, there are.

I can think of the Alesis ION, Yamaha VL1 and Kurz
K2600 for starters.


cheers,

another one that comes to mind is the good ol' Jupiter
6... I think they were XLR as well...

I'm just wondering is there any chance for an evolver mk2 ? Maybe something
with moog filters and FM on and ring mod the analog oscilators and maybe
analog vocoder, and scrap the digital part in favour of a multipart analog
drum expander.

Analog delay and distortion also maybe?

Just random Ideas.

You know it's funny because for awhile I had a *problem* with the digital half of the 
Evolver. Now that I actually have one, I like it a lot the way it is. On the other hand, it might 
be interesting to see other variations, including an Evolver with all the knobs and a 
keyboard. But the digital side sounds excellent IMO.

I think we know where Dave stands on this when he says he doesn't care to recreate old 
Sequential gear. He's been there already. If Dr. Moog wants to revise and improve his own 
old designs more power to him and I really dig the Voyager. I just can't imagine Dave 
Smith doing it, not that there's anything wrong with Moog Music. I'm happy he has his 
company name back.

What a minute... 
What you're asking for IS a Voyager! :-p

presonally, I'd prefer to see a poly-Evolver/Evolver hybrid.  i.e. a poly
Evolver with a built-in Evolver interface in a table-top version. or the
same thing with tons of knobs (ala Nord lead). :-)

Joe

And a headphone jack!

While I had the PolyEvolver for doing patching last week, I worshipped 
having a headphone jack.  I'm sure I'd love it even more on the 
tabletop, then it could come to the couch / bed / cafe with me like my 
machinedrum does.  ;-]

yes, that would be quite nice!  the Evolver is more of a portable unit than
the MD, too (lighter, at least).  but that's crazy that you take the MD
to a coffee shop!  I never even thought of that; I'm sure you get all kinds
of crazy looks!

umm....that should be "personally". oops! :-)

Joe

I probably do!  Never noticed.  I bet it looks ludicrous, sitting there 
with this weird silver box and a giant ceramic dish of high powered 
espresso, bobbing constantly.  Maybe I need to not be doing that 
anymore.  ;-]

Changing the environment is huge for me when it comes to being able to 
do the same thing for huge amounts of time.  Some sort of ADD thing I'm 
sure... always rearranging my home or whatever.

Back to topic:  I'd like to see a few more modulation slots.  I'm 
probably showing my Reaktor/Nord/Fenix roots a bit too much here, but 
I'd love to see another pair of modulation assignments on top of the 
four freely assignable ones that exist.  I can't count how many times 
I've desired one more mod routing.

As for interface, it'd be slick to get one more row on the tabletop 
Evolver's UI - where the shifted parameters let you assign a knob to 
any other parameter in the synth, and the unshifted just controlled 
that parameter.  Sort of force an 8 knob interface onto the thing, 
customized per patch.

The internals are rock solid though, I love the thing as it is.  Even 
without a headphone jack.  ;-]
