For the Evolver family best is to visit MESI as you're in Paris (note, I worked for them and regularly collaborate with). There's evolver and polyevolver arounds, Marc knows how to use it and you can twiddle as you want to. Beware, he'll go to Frankfurt in 2 weeks. Evolver and VS use curtis chips (the analogues oscillators, filter) for their analogue part, but not the same one, the evolver is a chip developed at the time for Tom Oberheim he never used in the end and when Dave worked on the first Evolver (with Tom O. -hardware- and Roger Linn -software-) they use the chips as they had this stock around and no use for. Now they have finished the NOS and have made a run of new chips. As the beast is hybrid sometimes it doesn't show at its best when mishandled, but it's a very nice synth especially there's a small keyboard mono version (and the big poly for the diehards). The trouble with VS as I said is you're up to some troubles if something gets fried. ATC1X is FAT, up to heart attack. I don't like the interface personally but it's a great synth, fortunately versatile due to its different filters. I don't know if MESI has one right now (got to call them, I'll ask). The front panel as it is keeps the price low. I'd really like something from Studio electronics… Until Alesis issued the ION/MICRON, access did the best VA around, alesis VA can be more lively. Now i've not been able to make a side by side comparison… On Clavia, note the sound changed a lot when they moved from crappy 18 bits D/A to 24 bits D/A with the NL3 and all the synths they issued since (like the G2). People started to discovered the modelling was way less harsh they thought. now Clavia sound is Clavia sound, it's not the "best" VA around, you buy it for it's peculiar sound or for one of the best virtual modular system around.
