Dave Smith Evolver gets handy upgrade

I don't normally post 'x is upgraded to version y' type stories, so this is a bit self-indulgent. But if you own a Dave Smith Evolver, you'll be delighted to hear that V3.0 has just been released here. It adds 43 new midi CCs - so it will be much easier to control with a controller or sequencer. Unfortunately, the upgrade costs $25, and involves a new chip inside the box. But while you're waiting for that to arrive, there's a really good new soundbank, which seems much more logically arranged. And if you haven't got a DSI Evolver, why the hell not? What kind of house can you buy for $499? (thanks for the pic, Corky)

Dudes that can handle chips are way sexyer. Don't be a puss and fork out that $25 like a man.

"BTW whats 'chavvvy'"

It's a British thing... as I understand it, "chav" is kind of similar to the American word "wigger" and is often used to refer to middle-class white kids who wear trainers and track suits and listen to hip-hop music. Not sure what it has to do with ringtones, though...
