"a question: if I want save the current settings of a patch within 
the evo
and I scroll thru the evo bank to hear which existing patch i can 
overwrite
then I lose the patch I've been editing. Is there anyway around this?"

I think you can do this if you utilize the phantom banks feature.  
You should get familiar with this as it's a top benefit of the 
editor.  I don't have any of those bugs you mention (I'm n PC), but I 
do agree with you about the random patch generator (The results are 
just horrible IMO).
