There's no doubt in my mind that somebody like Sayer WILL pay a
premium for the benefit of the hardware user interface. The Evolver
can be used stand alone but an editor/librarian seems necessary for
the Poly Evolver.

Novation came close with the SuperNova but it also was cost
prohibitive for the average user - assuming that would be somebody
such as you me who makes their living outside of music ;-)
Clavia and Access seem to have found a formula for VAs that works -
good for them (I still like the NL2.)
