I love this synth so much, you can spend hours and hours noodling away. The depth of programing available is overwhelming - at first! - but you'll soon find it indispensable for expansive, evolving, complex stereo pads and soundscapes; big, raw, grungy leads; trippy sequencer jams and as a stereo processor for beats or vocals or anything you can think of to throw at it. It is truly a unique and expressive instrument, with modulation options out the wazoo. The only reason I'm selling it is because I decided to buy the keyboard version :)
From the Dave Smith Instruments website:
"The original desktop Evolver is a compact monophonic synthesizer that packs an amazing amount of sonic power into a small package. It features two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators utilizing the waves from the legendary Prophet VS. Classic Curtis analog lowpass filters and real analog VCAs round out the analog section. But what really sets the Evolver apart from the rest of the pack is the way in which analog and digital are integrated. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synced for massive, rhythmic, time-based effects in stereo."
Features
- Monstrous four oscillator voice architecture.
- True stereo signal path with separate Curtis analog low-pass filters in each channel.
- Dedicated onboard effects (feedback, delay, distortion, high-pass filter, etc.).
- 16 x 4 step sequencer really brings the Evolver to life with evolving “pseudo-polyphonic” sounds – you won’t believe it's mono!
- Stereo audio input for audio processing of external stereo or mono signals, enabling the synth to act as a unique stereo effects processor.
- Everything (sequencer, LFOs, and delay) syncs perfectly to MIDI.
- Easy-to-navigate matrix-style interface for quick editing and real-time control of 8 parameters simultaneously.
- Multiple Evolvers can be daisy-chained for more polyphony.

This item has been very well looked after and is in as new condition. It has been reset to factory settings and comes in original packaging with instruction manual and original universal power supply. It was initially purchased in the U.S. and so the plug attachment is a U.S. one, however with a simple adapter (which I will provide for Australian purchasers) it can plug in to Australian 240V outlets without a transformer.
Local pickup is preferred in either Melbourne's inner west or the CBD. Domestic and International postage is available and will be paid for by the buyer but I insist on Registered Post and Insurance - NO EXCEPTIONS! Contact me BEFORE purchase for a postage quote if you cannot pick up the item. I will pay for domestic (only, not international) Registered Post including Insurance if you Buy It Now.

I reserve the right to end the auction early. Other items pictured are not included in sale.
