well I take an existing 128 sample file, open it in Audacity and 
then  just mangle it and then save it to a new name....I also loaded 
several pre-existing files and then exported the whole pile out to a 
mono WAV and then you get the sum of the parts when you reload that 
file back...it seems to work OK but I've only done this a dozen times 
or so ......as another newbie here,  can I ask that some other more 
experienced member of this group care to address the plusses and 
minuses of these 128 sample sources for making the Evolver sound 
better (well at least different, it sounds pretty good as is) .. i.e. 
what type of shapes works best (or at least create interesting 
sound?), what's better, specific shapes or random wiggles, symmetry 
or non symmetry or what? just curious.... of course I can dork with 
it for a while to find out slowly , but if 90% of the time its a dead 
end, a little suggestion or a few tips from someone would be very 
appreciated ....in the meantime I've got my hands full just working 
through just what came out of the box .....thanks to all
