I did a few a while ago (some may be in the patch collection
thingummy, can't recall) but mostly now I use my P3 sequencer 
( http://www.colinfraser.com/p3/p3.htm ) to send notes and MIDI
controllers with the Evolver simply being triggered. 

However, now Dave has kindly added the ability to step the sequencer
via MIDI notes I have a great addition to my armoury. I do the above
and then, for variation in a gig (cos I really would not reprogram the
Evo live) I hit start on the sequencer. Notes step it along (so I
don't record pitch into it either) and I get a variation in sound on
each step according to how I've programmed it. With careful stopping
of the sequencer in specific points I therefore get 16 different sound
variations available within one patch. 
Incidentally, that's why it would be far easier if the sequencer added
or subtracted its value to the stored values for any parameter -
currently I have to know every value I am sequencing so, at some
steps, I can get something that sounds as if related to the original
patch...

OK, rambling now... 8)
