via this eBay listing, also on Reverb
"DSI Mono Evolver Desktop in great condition. Four OSC synth comprised of two analog and two "VS" type digital oscs. Add a killer analog filter, sequencer, feedback and distortion generators and a 3 delay processors! Not to mention the modulation section and routing.. This to me, and many other synth freaks was Dave Smiths most fully featured synth.. shhh.. dont tell anyone, but it's also his best sounding synth since the old Sequential days 70's / 80's."

Dave Smith Instruments DSI Poly Evolver PE SN 00891
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing
"Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard in excellent condition. Encoder version with updated boards.
Main Board: 2.2 Voice board: 2.2 DSP Board: 3.5
I'm the second owner, and both studios were non-smoking. No gigging with this one.
This is a special synth from a very special manufacturer. Dave Smith, from designing the famous Prophet 5 to his defining the MIDI spec, really dedicated himself to producing unique and capable instruments and technologies. This Poly Evolver is one of those. Full Specs below but the fact that this is a hybrid synth, combining analog and digital synthesis, with incredible modulation and built-in sequences, show the mind of genius Dave Smith.
Also the purple heart wood is an beautiful accent for this particular synth."

Misadventures | A DSI Prophet 12 and Fractal Audio FM3 ambient soundscape
video upload by MIDERA
"Yesterday my wife lost her job. I guess it surprised neither of us, although that didn't make it any less painful. Going through our list of things we need to cancel and stop, like daycare for our three year old. On the week of our wedding anniversary too, it just added that extra little sting.
She's always come back with something better, but I guess you sit and wonder whether this time there will be something, with all the job cuts in what feels like every sector, so many will be doing the same thing, in a time when the competitiveness was already overwhelming. I guess for now we just wait and hope. Wait and hope.

The Kingdom of Ice | Contemplative downtempo ambient soundscape with DSI Poly Evolver and Virus TI
video upload by MIDERA
"Yesterday was my mom’s birthday. Today is Mother’s Day… crazy for me to think that she hasn’t been here for two of either of these. It is hard to be without her. I think about her often. I had planned to watch her favorite Indian movie last night… but I couldn’t bring myself to watch it (it’s not exactly my kind of movie), so instead my wife and I picked a movie we’d never seen. Fire and Ice. It was pretty bad. I had thought since I loved the Lord of the Rings by the same director, this would be as good, but I was mistaken. So, I didn’t really do anything to honor my mom, but I guess she’d have been just as happy knowing I was enjoying myself.
Poly Evolver for arpeggiated sounds.
Off camera, I used my Virus TI for pads.
Everything went through the Fractal Audio FM3"

"This album was entirely made on the DSI Pro2 to showcase many different soundscapes this synthesizer is capable of. These were made in multitrack live sessions, adding new tracks in each session, using a great variety of settings, oscillator-fm, traditional sounds, arpeggios, sequencing etc."

A DSI Poly Evolver Soundscape

"A soundscape using the Poly Evolver. I used the sequencer to advance the waveshapes, although, I think it was quite hard to tell.
Enjoy

Once awake | Cirklon, Minimoog, Poly Evolver, Prophet 10, Machinedrum IDM electronic music
video upload by MIDERA
"Today I managed to find about an hour to write this track. I've been trying to find a reason to keep the Poly Evolver (although I don't seem to have any local folks interested), and so I figured the best way to do that was to use it in my songs and see how it does.

The voice of nothing | Cirklon, Minimoog, Prophet 10, Poly Evolver, Machinedrum MKII Electronic IDM
video upload by MIDERA
"Today, before bed, I laid with my family on my bed, listening to the downfall of rain on the roof. I loved every second of it. My kids? It scared them for some reason. Undoubtedly, some day they will look back and think 'I can't believe I was so scared of that gentle rain on the roof... I missed the opportunity to just relax with my papa and mama.'
Of course, not a day goes by that I don't look back at the end of the day and wish I had been more present. Who knows what other adventures I'm missing out with them by being just so stuck in my head.
Well - as for this track, I was trying some new things, using the Machinedrum instead of the Nord Drum 2, and stacking the Poly Evolver and P10. I didn't really enjoy the experience of either. I know some people fill their rooms with synths and Jasper's stands, but I think it just kills the creativity. Maybe my constant unhappiness with my studio keeps me writing more and more?
I don't know.
