I use a product called Virtual PC on my Powerbook with decent results, 
depending on what you're trying to do. I've never tried using it for MIDI 
work, but serial I/O works okay.

The problem is that it's pricey, and it's now owned by Microsoft (they 
bought it from Connectix) and has an uncertain future.

Virtual PC isn't any good with MIDI on OSX due to midi being an integral
part of the os. OS9 I have no idea but who wants OS9 anyway?

Hello,

Anyone have any success receiving bank dumps via the OSX editor?  I know my MIDI 
hookup is correct and my MIDI setup in OSX is correct.  The evolver is set to send and 
receive all data

When I click on Request All Data, the MIDI light blinks once on the Evolver and the 
MIDI in light blinks once on my MTP but then nothing happens.


There doesn't seem to be any online support for this editor at the moment, unless I'm 
missing something.

Any help would be appreciated.

You will have no success because it doesn't work! I contacted Mark at
SoundTower about this and he said that it was a bug that came in when
he was in the process of merging the Poly code with the Evolver code.
Seems that the wrong message is being sent to the Evolver.
He said that a fix should be coming soon.

Yeah, I was kind of suprised that there is not even a manual included.  
I've been having some problems with the Genetics window which is a lot 
of fun but somewhat confusing.  When you mutate 2 patches and 
audition all of the offspring the Evolver seems to stick on a certain 
sequence for all of them.  So when you save the patches you like and 
load them into the Evolver they don't actually sound anything like they 
do in the genetics window.  Can anyone help me with this or is that just 
the way it is on the PC version too?
