Evolver Question

Evolver Question

2006-01-26 by digitaldisko

Hello,

In the past I have purchased a Yamaha AN200, Alesis Micron,a Studio 
Electronics ATC-1, and a Sequential Circuits Pro-One.  Out of all of 
my synths, I really dig the sound of the ATC-1, which is an analog 
synth with a digital interface and I also liked the Pro-One but sold 
it because of the no midi options and having to pay all the money in 
repairs. For the micron and an200 I just got bored of the sound of 
them.  That said, do you guys think i'll be impressed more with the 
Evolver compared to my other synths, sound-tonal wise? I would really 
like a synth that can sound really dirty/analog but at the same time 
get some great digital square waves.  The music i am into is 
Electroclash and Early 80s(Devo,OMD,Gary Numan,Human League)/Late70s
(Moroder, Kraftwerk, Jarre,etc) music.  Will the Evolver be another 
purchase and sell synth? Do you think I will be truely happy with this 
synth and should sell my Micron and AN200 for it?

Thanks.

The evolver is not an easy synth to get used to...but
once you do...it is better than the Micron and the
AN200...no doubt.  For the money, it is the best deal
on the market.  It is not a purchasde and sell synth.
If it were, you'd see for sale on the used market alot
more...and you don't see them that often.

While no one can say for sure what you will like and won't, I think 
given this information you will really like Evolver.

I have an Alesis Ion as well, and they're very different.  The Ion is 
very polished.  The Evolver is much more basic, raw, wild.

I think you'll be very happy with it.
