Ease of Use: 8
this is not your bread and butter synth.
Presets
are good and useful but needs to be sexed up by you.
editing the sounds is
easy but its quite hard to edit the secuences.
it always turns out cool
however.
Features: 7
ONE voice were talking monophonic but wait...It sounds
like a massive modular..it blurps and rattles ...its alive!
Only delay but it
can sound like a flanger.or a chorus.Now it sounds like a
reverb.AAAAAGH!feedback in my ear!Now its a delay again.Phew!
Oops now its
distorting!AC/DC in a box?
no expansion(we got Rumsfeldt for that)But yes a
onboard sequenser.Wich is quite hard to program if you want to make
...melodies?Really easy if you want to make a whooping delaydrone with a chorus
of falsetto frogs in unison with a dragon in heat.
Expressiveness/Sounds: 10
Realistic sounds?Sure it sounds like the
buzz comming out of Ken Keasys hippiemobile if you know what i mean. This baby
together with a sampler and a midiclock and you can create wierdness galore.Or
just on its own for thoose lonly hours at the psychiatric care facility.
Just
add headphones.(and a Y cable).This is all the analog sounds you need.And it
will rip right throu any mix.And it will utterly destroy all sanity.
Reliability: 10
Thou shalt not have any synthzisers next to the
evlolver.
Do not mistrust in Evolver your Lord.For she will guide your music
in all your misdeeds.Look at the other keyboards.Weak they are.You shall utterly
destroy them with the saudering iron,and then rejoice!
For the Evolver is
your synth and its name is jealous.

the best way!
Overall Rating: 9
This will never leave your studio once you get to
know it.
It sounds like nothing else in its price group or size for that
matter.Maybe it would compare with a modular synth of some kind.
But its not
bigger than a videocassette!And so cute!Maybe it could have bben easier to
program...but its just a few knobs and buttons so there is bound to be some
cutbacks.Still a great score if you like analog sounds.
