As far as I can tell, the big problem with the genetics has to do with the 
sequencer.  It seems that whatever patch you last had opened when 
you enter the genetics window is the one that plays as you preview the 
new random patches.  It isn't even neccessarily the sequence of the 
patch you're trying to morph but whichever one was last selected.  So 
then when you save the genetically engineered patches that you like 
they have some other crazy sequence which of course sounds totally 
different.  There may be other strange inconsistencies as well but that 
one was the most obvious to me.  I find the whole thing to be a huge 
bummer because the genetics feature was the only reason I bought the 
editor.  If I'm programming my own patches from scratch I can do that 
just fine on the Evolver itself without the hassle of hooking it up to the 
computer.

(This is all regarding the Mac OS X version BTW).
