Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

it's been a while since I've taken part in this group.... I sold my 
Evolver early this year for a Nord Modular.   The Nord Modular was a 
dissapointment after the Evolver and so I sold that shortly after.   
Anyhow, I've been waiting for the right moment to purchase a DSI 
Evolver again and I think the time is growing near now that 2.0 is in 
the not too distant future.   

My question to you electro engineer/tech people is, is there any 
possibility to mod the evolver to run off of battery power?  I mean, 
of course there is, but what about with a degree of efficiency that 
would make it worth while and would also fit into the original casing 
of the evolver???   I should know a little about power ratings and 
what not by now, but unfortunately I've not yet learned.  It would be 
really kick ass to be able to run one off of battery power though and 
be able to recharge it also.  

Cheers,

Collin

I seriously doubt you'd be able to cram anything inside the existing 
case.  If you're really bent on doing this, look for a rechargable 
lithium ion battery capable of providing the required 13-15 volts at 
500 milliamps for a reasonable amount of time.
