The Evolver's sound comes from 4 oscillators, 2 of which are analog and 2 of which are digital. While creating sound presets to demonstrate the synthesizer at the NAMM tradeshow, he was impressed by the "organic" nature of the synthesizer's sound, his wife, Denise, came up with the more aptly suited name, Evolver. Originally, Smith intended for the Evolver to be named "Noise," since he "always wanted to design a synth with that name.
The name Evolver is because the synthesizers sound is constantly changing, subtly or dramatically. After helping Roger Linn on his line of AdrenaLinn guitar effects pedals, he got interested in hardware again and eventually decided to start producing a new line of hardware synthesizers, partly because of seeing how soft synths are now easily "ripped off.", calling the Evolvers hardware "the ultimate dongle". Smith worked on a number of synthesizers in the past, such as the revolutionary Prophet 5, the Korg Wavestation (a direct descendant of the Prophet VS), and the first professional software synthesizer, "Reality".
