Yes. You can't adress not every sound parameter in the Evolver though. A 
list of the parameters that can be controlled via Midi CC is contained in 
the zip-file on the DSI site.

No, afaik you can't load the new OS to your Evolver, in addition to the 
software update the hardware must be updated by exchanging an IC.
You can load the new sounds though. Some might sound quite strange because 
in opposite to the new operating system, that switches off all sequencer 
parameters if the sequencer's not running, Evolvers with the old OS apply 
the values of sequencer step 1 to a sound. If a sound plays with a very high 
pitch or something like that you might try to set the sequencer values of 
step 1 to zero.
