Via Mike Peake on AH:
"From 1997 through 1999, Dennis Graham advertised a new modular synthesizer of his own design. I was in contact with him, and received literature on the system. I believe that I contacted him again in the early 2000s; there may be a post from me on AH confirming this, when the name EVOS comes up every now and again.
I tried phoning and emailing him today; his phone number is disconnected and I have neither received an email bounce nor an answer (although only an hour or so has gone by- the foibles of the information age! If it isn't instant, it may not exist!). I didn't want him inundated with the curious, but if he answers, I'll post about what he's up to.
Pardon the quality of the scans; the machine I used didn't press down on the papers, so the folds cause curving of the images in places! They are lower quality due to there being 20 pages; perhaps I can send the lit to Joe at the Audio Playground for true archive-level scanning."

"I don't know if Dennis ever made prototypes, but circa 2002 he did confirm that he never shipped any systems."

I was in contact with Dennis Graham in 1997 and he mailed me this prospect pack as well.
ReplyDeleteIt looked very interesting with a good SPEC and build quality!
I especially liked the design and module case that you could tilt in different angels.
But EVOS never went in production
so i spent my money somewhere else.
Yeah I was really looking forward to this system as well. It looked wonderful. I would have thought he'd sell quite a few. I wound up buying 8 Serge panels in 2000 instead...
ReplyDeletethese modules would match perfectly with my system 700,a shame that they din't get into producrion,they are so beautifull.
