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

Features and specs are listed on this page.

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.

Post comments and questions about the Poly Evolver here.

BUY the Poly Evolver Keyboard here and support FP.

Ye, the sound was really amazing. Regarding the comments and questions about the Poly Evolver, i dont think there's much could be gathered
