Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

It bugged me a little bit, too, at first.  Then I did a reality 
check...  I have power switches on almost every other piece of 
music/audio gear.  I asked myself how often I use those switches.  My 
answer?  Never.  Everything is plugged into heavy duty power strips, 
which have their own on/off switches.  The power strips, in turn, are 
plugged into a pair of 500-VA UPS's, which also have on/off 
switches.  I use the switches on the power strips to turn everything 
on and off.

Leaving the power switch off the Evolver saved some cost, complexity, 
and space.  Did it save a LOT?  No, but all those little things add 
up, and I'm quite happy with the very low cost, simplicity, and small 
size of the Evolver.  I think that the vast majority of the 
compromises and design decisions that Dave made on the Evolver were 
excellent.
