This is the first of a few video reviews/features about Dave Smith's new POLY EVOLVER KEYBOARD synthesizer.

<a href="http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/polyevolver/specs.html">Features and specs are listed on this page</a>.

To summarize things, it is an hybrid *true* analog AND digital synthesizer. It is polyphonic (4 voices) and is designed by Dave Smith, who you may know from his inventions: MIDI, Sequential Circuits PROPHET V, VS, etc.

It will take a couple of days to learn the interface and design some new sounds, but for now here is an 8 minutes video I captured while browsing the first few presets and tweaking a few knobs.

It sounds AMAZING! That's all I can say so far, I opened the box and plugged it 30 minutes ago.

The bass is super deep and everything in the room is shaking. I just explored a few of the presets and tweaked some things, so far.

The analog-style sequencer, 16 x 4 with knobs like the old days, is a lot of fun to play with.
