DSI Evolver desktop

Has anyone thought about, or has done any type of customization to the unit? I was thinking about building some cool little wood ends or a box for it to sit in. Has anyone done anything aesthetically to their DSI Evo? or at least thought about it?

if so, post some pics...

sometime, I'm thinking about something like this:

with the Novation X-stn and the DEVO

I just bought some red oak to build a slanted "box-like" holder for both the Novation Nova and Desktop Evolver. Haven't figured a design yet, though.

Yeah... I've made a little structure like that... Sorta modular... It can sit different things above a drum machine or keyboard at 2 different angles (flat or 45'), like my virus desktop for instance or the evolver (with a kaospad beside it, due to its 19" long design)

Soon Im going to build a carrying box for my virus ti to sit with/above my axiom controller like the above pic... when im done it should have a minimoog sort of look to it... I'll post pics when it actually happens.

As far as an aesthetic add-on for the evolver... no, just the angled holder
I'll post a pic later today...

On second thought... its pretty ugly. I'll wait until I have something nice and finished.

FYI, hot off the DSI blog . . .

A Price Increase

We have had to raise the price of the Evolver Desktop $50. There had been no price increases since the Evolver was released in 2002, even though costs have increased tremendously in that time. We still think it's a bargain at a US MSRP of $649.

PHUCK... Are they going to be $600 in stores now?

at that point, it starts to make the MEK a smart value...you can find on used in the $800-$900 a few more hundred bucks, and you have a whole lot more nobs...

Swear like a man! Go on, say it. f**k!

Anyway, when I bought my desktop Evolver the dollar was such that it cost me the equivalent of $950. Which is around about what my MEK cost me a couple of years later.

As the US dollar goes down the toilet everything made outside the US is going to seem a lot more expensive for you guys, so $600 for a desktop evo is gonna actually end up looking like a better deal than it did for $550 a couple of years ago.

I'm still going to buy one... used. It is worth the cash.
