The EVOS Modular is Coming

Remember the EVOS? Via Mike Peak on AH:

"Dennis contacted me yesterday:

'Mike,

I have no problem with you passing on what I discussed with you. I will be making some sort of announcement (sometime in early '08) about the web site and when the updated Evos Modular will be available.'....

The previous email:
'Mike,

Every few months, or so, I do some internet browsing, just to see what sort of things are going on in the synth world - especially concerning modular stuff. While doing so, I happened upon your post on the MATRIXSYNTH site (via AH).

It's always pleasing to me to know that people are still interested in my modular and also, that they seem to understand and appreciate what I was trying to accomplish. While I have no objections to the documentation being disseminated, I often have mixed feelings about this. Firstly, (and most importantly) because the system has gone through a number of refinements over the past few years and secondly, republishing them only perpetuates the grammatical and typographical errors which appeared in the originals. To rectify this situation, I am (slowly) compiling data on the latest version which will appear in an upcoming web site dedicated to my modular system. Eventually, I plan to include some historical information tracking the development of the various versions of the system through time.

...I have been making plans to release the new version of the modular early next year. It will be, initially, limited to a set of what I consider to be the most essential modules, with gradual additions over time.

I genuinely want to see the modular in the hands of people who might put it to good use...

Take care.

Dennis'

This is great news. Especially if it sounds like it looks."

  3. I dont think calling trust into the equation is the right thing to do. It was going to be a product at one point then it was shelved for a long period and brought back. Remember these modular synth companies are just 1 guy. You try putting out a line of modular synths...

  4. Based on his track record of delivering product, I wouldn't hold my breath, but I wish him luck.

  5. I agree, I think this is all alot of wishful thinking, I remember sending for those brochures well over 10 years ago and being told the product would be released soon. I did think the product looked promising back then, now there are alot of modular company's with a wide assortment of modules. More are always welcome but I wouldn't expect the EVOS to become a real product anytime soon.
