weird.  an Evolver costs about as much as a used Sidstation. but then 
again, you
can't make payments on an eBay purchase (unless you can use a credit 
card
for it).

I do.  I like it a lot.  it's a great little synth for pretty much 
everything.  I seem to enjoy
it the most when I sit down and program a sequence as a standalone 
thing. but then
I never use those sequences with anything for some reason. but it's 
also great to
program it monophonically from the MnM. it's very easy to use. it's 
also fun to
route digital synths through its analog side and/or use it as an 
effects unit.

one great thing about the Evo is that there are tons of modulations 
with almost
anything as a destination.  kind of like the MD/MnM LFO's but with the 
addition of
utility modulation slots.  anyway, these add up to complex, evolving 
patches.

have fun!
