If you're talking about the Evolver synthesizer from Dave Smith 
Instruments the "rep" was probably Dave Smith himself. As far as I 
can tell it's a one-man operation.

It's a monophonic synth with both analog and digital voice elements 
and a step sequencer. Sequences can be saved along with voice 
parameters, and there is an extensive modulation matrix that includes 
a number of MIDI messages a sources. I think it could be set up to be 
controlled reasonably well by a pedal board.

Here's the manual:
