Evolver-Downloads

Evolver Programs are compatible with all models of Evolver

Evolver 3.0 Factory Program Banks

The downloadable file in the sidebar at the right contains all of the factory program
 banks for a desktop Evolver running OS versions 3.0 or higher. It also includes the installation instructions given below. The program data is in a MIDI 
System Exclusive (SysEx) file that can be loaded into Evolver via MIDI using a MIDI
utility or other application capable of opening and transmitting SysEx files. The simplest 
method may be to use a shareware MIDI utility such as SysEx Librarian (Mac OS) or MIDI-OX
 (Windows).

These can be downloaded from:

You will also need a MIDI interface to connect your computer to Evolver.

There is nothing you need to do to prepare Evolver to receive the programs. Once the
 transfer begins, the programs will automatically be written to Evolver’s memory.

Programs from any Evolver model (Evolver, Poly Evolver, Poly Evolver Keyboard, Evolver
 Keyboard) can be loaded into any other Evolver. The original desktop Evolver does not have
 a character display, so when Evolver programs are loaded into one of the other models, the
 names of the previous programs are not overwritten even though the actual programs are.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Be aware that loading programs overwrites any programs that are currently in memory. If 
you have programs you want to keep, be sure to save them to a SysEx file first. Refer to 
the manual for more information about initiating a SysEx dump from Evolver’s front panel
 controls.
