Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Dave could make and sell a nice tinted hard plastic dust cover that snaps 
onto the unit. It would serve three purposes perhaps: 1) dust cover, 2) 
travel protection, just throw it into a soft bag and not worry about the 
knobs, and 3)allow one to stack slaved evolvers under the main one.

Hey thats a very cool idea! especially the idea of making them stackable! 
Unfortunately injection moulded plastic is only cheap in the 10000+ unit 
production range, so we might be paying a bit for each one if he only makes 
100 to start.....

My suggestion for someone wanting immediate protection would be to find an 
equipment case that basically fits, and fill it with foam cut to hold the 
evolver and protect the knobs. Something like what comes around a small 
cordless drill perhaps? Or a wide, flat lunchbox?

Hi,

Actually, around where I'm located (in the Chicago area) there
is a chain of stores called "The Container Store" which sell
very nice little (medium and large also) black plastic equipment
cases. One of the sizes fits the Evolver perfectly (together 
with it's power supply and some cables). If you are really 
worried about the knobs, they also have small sheets of foam 
that can be placed over the knobs.
