Yah,  the edirol devices don't either.  I spent a lot of time working it 
out and learned a lot about SYSEX,  only to find out that the Edirol 
doesn't support the format that the Evolver wants the parameter settings 
  to be communicated as (ie.  1 - 126,  or 1 - 164 ).

the evolver wants the parameter setting number to be something like follows

[ Sysex Begin ]

sysex info
..
..
..
[Parameter setting]
xxxx 0000  (nibble, Least Significant)
xxxx 0000  (nibble, most significant)
..
..
sysex info

[End Sysex]


This is roughly the format, I may have those reversed,  can't remember 
off hand,  but I know that the parameter is actually parts of 2 seperate 
bytes.  The last 4 bits (or a nibble) of 2 different bytes to be exact....

If there's a manual for me to peruse about programming the BCR for 
sysex,  I'll take a look and see if it is capable, but I think I recall 
it wasn't.   Do an archive search off of the yahoo group page and see if 
you find something.
