I had a similar problem on my week-old evolver.  I was sequencing the 
evolver with the editor program up and running, hit play on my 
sequencer and click - no sound.  Trying to edit patches showed no 
data in each patch, which proved to be wrong when I tweaked knobs 
directly.  No matter what I did - I couldn't get any sound out of it 
via midi, playing keys in the editor, or running internal sequences.  

The fix?  I couldn't find a "harware reset" mentioned in the manual, 
or in this archive, so I re-installed os 2.0 - which was really easy 
with the editor.  As it went through the process, I could hear clicks 
as the DSP reset itself.  I think this may have been a DSP crash - 
but it's weird that it wouldn't reset itself after powering down.
