Well, actually, this won't be necessary: I have the full version!  (It 
came free with my Poly-rack!). However, I don't use it, as I quite like 
Evolver's matrix interface and I try to avoid using the computer as 
much as possible.

But then, if the editor can do it, so should I!   :-)   So, how does it 
work? I assume the editor sends a sysex message to the Poly that makes 
it select a specific part, so that any subsequent sysex message affects 
only that part. What is this secret MIDI message? I could program my 
MIDI controller to send these four 'selection-messages' (OK, I would 
have to use my computer--- and Logic---as a translator, as my 
controller doesn't like sysex, but still, I would be able to program 
all four of the Poly's parts using my mono-evolver and four knobs of my 
controller!).

I could try to find out myself, by monitoring the messages sent out by 
the editor (again, in Logic---I think this should be possible, by 
connecting an OUT of my MIDI interface to an IN, instead of to the IN 
of the Poly), but if somebody could just tell me...  ;-)

All the best,

Tomas.
