Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Anyone here have both linked together?

I am becoming intrigued by the idea of getting a polyevolver to 
supplement my evolver. I'm less interested in a 5 voice synth, than I 
am in the chaos produced by mostly individual voices, each 
controlled, or partially controlled by their own sequencers. How well 
does this work in actuality. has anyone tried anything like setting 
some of the sequencers for internal control, and some for external 
control? etc, etc. I've been browing the manual, but I'm wondering 
whether in actuality this is an awkward setup, or whether it works 
well...

I have this setup and it works as expected and listed in the manual. However
even though they are supposed to be exactly the same hardware, to my ears
the poly sounds just a little bit better, Don't know if its just the
inconsistencies in analog circuits I'm hearing but I can hear it. Dave says
this should not be the case. Anyways I seem to find myself lately using the
sounds of the four voice Poly and using the Mono Evolver as a control
surface for it (albeit an expensive one) most of the time. This works good
for me, and I always have the 5th voice should I need it. It's hard enough
to make four evolver voices fit

I looked throught the manual, and my main concern didn't seem to be 
addressed directly, though I might have missed it. 

I kind of inferred that if you want to use the evolver as a control 
interface for the Poly, you have to set up the Poly as a 4 voice 
polyphonic. It didn't seem to be possible to control 5 independent 
synths and sequencers from the Evolver. 

That would be necessary for me to buy the Poly, I think.
