The Evolver, Dave Smith Instruments' first product, is a monophonic hybrid synth that marks Dave Smith's return to the world of hardware synthesizers. Featuring two analog DCOs and two wavetable oscillators, the Evolver also harnesses the power of the analog Curtis filter and its complex modulation matrix of 24 sources and over 75 destinations. The Evolver also features three synchronizable delays, a 4-track 16-step sequencer, 512 editable patches, poly in/out/transfer/chain, and stereo inputs and outputs.The Evolver Mono Keyboard from Dave Smith Instruments adds a 3-octave keyboard and pitch and modulation wheels to the Evolver Hybrid Mono module. The Evolver Mono Keyboard allows for easier performance thanks to the velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, as well as more knobs that expose parameters previously only accessible via the Evolver's menus.The Evolver marked Dave's Smith's triumphant return to hardware synths and is still the gold standard for sonic ferocity in a monosynth. It contains a plethora of Dave's best ideas in a monstrously powerful instrument with a unique sound.The Evolver's unique tone comes from the synergy of its two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators (which take the waves from the legendary Prophet VS). Curtis' classic analog low-pass filters and true analog VCAs add warmth and fullness to the analog section, while the digital high-pass filter, tuned feedback, and digital distortion add sizzle and grit. But what really sets the Evolver apart is the way the analog and digital parts of its personality fit together in a true stereo signal path. The word "massive" doesn't begin to describe the Evolver's sound.Imagine being able to move effortlessly from analog smoothness to digital sharpness, or anywhere in between, and you'll begin to understand. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synchronized to create complex, scalable, rhythmic, and time-based effects in true stereo.It's a sound designer's dream that can go from ultra-creamy to ultra-aggressive with the turn of a knob. If you need to be convinced, just listen to the demos.

The OB-6® is the result of a unique collaboration between the two most influential designers in the history of the synthesizer, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim.  The OB-6 takes up most of the characteristics of Oberheim synthesizers (oscillators, bipolar filter, VCA...) to which modern functionalities have been added (effects, polyphonic step sequencer, arpeggiator...).  A high-performance synthesizer that offers a wide range of sound and very good quality.
