Well the main problem here is the existing interface (knob/button matrix) 
would never fit on a 1u rack... so to be able to program it, you'd need a 
completely new interface - like an LCD/button thing, and I can't see that 
being any fun at all to program.

Personally, I like the evolver as it is, and though its a bit of a pain to 
find table space for non-rack equipment, in the evolver's case it's worth 
it. But hey, you never know... if enough people have been telling dave 
that's what they want, then maybe it will happen some day.

I think Ravi was talking about his idea a month or so ago, for a panel-less 
version in a 1u rack. For the specific purpose of being an expander unit for 
more polyphony?

I'd like to see a bigger tabletop evolver, maybe 2 or 4 part, with nordlead3 
style knobs for every parameter, and an LCD for proper patch naming. Though 
that would be very expensive! and Dave would have to be very lucky to sell 
enough of those to make his money back.
