Surely you would set the last poly evolver to NOT be in poly-chain mode? In
that case, wouldn't the last poly evolver steal one of its playing voices to
play the new note? That seems pretty sensible to me... Not that I own
anything more than just one evolver to test it on, though.

Hmmm, it seems as if that could mitigate the problem to some degree,
would tend to oddly skew the behavior of voice stealing (because
voices that fall on the last evolver in the chain will always be
stolen, but voice on early evolvers will never be).  In particular it
seems like it would work very badly in what will probably be a very
common setup:  a mono evolver chained to the output of a keyboard
poly-evolver... all voice stealing would happen on the poor little
single-voice evolver!!
