yes, you can. there's a VSTi version of the vyzor editor.

there's limitations compared to the main editor, but it works quite
well. (well, will by final v1.0 release, which is happening very soon)

you probably should. it's a very cool thing!

also - it means you can automate ALL the evolver's parameters you want,
without sysex programming.

...you don't have a multiclient driver for your MIDI interface? perhaps
multiclient operation an option that can be set in the midi interface
settings?

This may actually be a problem with the evolver VSTi, too. I believe
that the sysex from vyzor VSTI needs to go straight to a MIDI output
port, as VST protocol doesn't support sysex being piped back and forth
between the app and a plugin..
