Re: [Evolver] Compare

Paul, I don't think it does. I agree, I would love that--essentially a temp location or something like that. I would also love the related feature of a temporary patch dump location. The current scheme where the patch number is built into an individual patch dump is a tradeoff I guess in some ways. I would prefer to have any newly loaded patch (or edited patch) be somewhere temporary so I can decide where (and if to place it).
I think the instant solution is to set up your own temp spot, like patch 128 or something where you always copy a patch you want to edit and then edit and save constantly in that spot. Then you can flip around and find a place for it. Its a couple of extra steps but effective. But not totally realistic I realize, as tweaking happens instantly without such forethought a lot.
Additionally, perhaps we will all develop a protocol for saving single dumped patches into say number 128 instead of wherever they happen to be, because it can be counterproductive to go and move a patch out of the the way just to audition a new one.
I would love it perhaps if Dave would devise (and endorse) the most efficient method if I am missing something here.

Anyone know if the Evolver has a patch compare facility?

After extensive tweaking, it's sometimes hard to know if I've improved
a patch - or made it worse! Being able to compare would be great as,
with no patch names, it's not always easy choosing another patch to
overwrite before doing an a/b comparison. I looked in the manual but
didn't find one...
