I am interested, but I can't access the website to read it, as that 
article is for subscribers only. The latest issue in Australia is 
always a couple of months behind UK release, I can't buy it here yet.

Could you provide a little detail on what they say. Is it useful? Are 
there dedicated editors or do you load it into a soundfile editor?

 From the user manual, wavetable data dump specs...


Waveshape Data Dump
Status Description
1111 0000 System Exclusive (SysEx)
0000 0001 DSI ID
0010 0000 Evolver ID
0000 0001 File Version
0000 1010 Waveshape Data
0vvv vvvv Waveshape number, 0 - 127, corresponds to Waveshapes 1 - 
128. Only Waveshapes 96 - 127 can be sent to Evolver and saved as 
user programmable; others will be ignored.
0vvv vvvv 293 bytes in "packed MS bit" format (see next page). The 
293 bytes = 256 data bytes, in the format of MS byte/LS byte, for the 
128 16-bit words that make up a waveshape. The ROM Waveshapes are 12 
bit two's complement (to match the VS), but the User Waveshapes (97 - 
128) can be a full 16 bits.
1111 0111 End of Exclusive (EOX)


I am wondering if these wavetables could be loaded into something 
like a wavetable editor designed for the microwave or similar 
wavetable synth.


Thanks,
