Yes, you can dump/load patches from/to the Evo and Poly in SysEx 
format.  There are a number of patches available here in the "Files" 
section of the Yahoo group, and two very large collections of patches 
at EX5Tech.  Here are some links:

(Note:  If your email client or the Yahoo group splits the link(s) 
above onto two lines, you may need to copy/paste the link(s) into 
your browser address bar.)

Note that most of the available patches were made and posted before 
OS2 was available, so they don't have the actual patch names stored 
in the SysEx files.  I've been meaning to post an updated version of 
our "Evolutionaries" soundset that does include patch names.  Seems 
there's never enough time to get everything done...

Oh, and welcome to the club!
