In the evolver's defense, there are more editable parameters than there are MIDI CCs 
available, and the parameter range is sometimes greater than 128 values (like 0 to 
160 in many cases) Perhaps NRPNS would be better. Maybe not.

If you don't mind having a computer doing some translating for you, I'll repeat that 
the Twizzler application included with my Evolver Editor does exactly this: translate 
MIDI CCs into Evolver sysex. Plus, you can save Twizzler 'patches' that change the 
behavior of your control surface. For example, you could have one set that does 
mixing and filtering and another set for distortion and delays, etc...
