Hi,

I've been experimenting with the Evolver and a Machinedrum for an 
easy setup wich i can use in my Live set. (Mix it with a RS7000)
The results are better than expexted so that's why i post it here:

Set the Machinedrum as master and slave the Evolver.(midi clock in)
Set the Trigger Select on the Evolver on MSR (combo mode 2)
Set Evolver on channel 16
Place on track 16 of the MD a midimachine chan. 16
Than place a note on the first step of track 16 (MD)
Program this step with parameter locks:
- Pitch for the pitch of the Evolver. (NOTE)
- Program change voor the pattern of the Evolver.(PCHG)

Results:
When you change pattern on the MD the Evolver will also change 
pattern exact at the beginning of the pattern without glitches or 
sync problems.(the evolver will always be retriggering the sequencer 
(MSR) so it will keep in pace with the MD)
When you program more steps on track 16 with other pitches you can 
make the sequences play on different transpose value's.
When you place steps on even steps you can even make the sequences 
shift in time.
The MD also has another advantage: The program change is send only 
once so you can switch programs on the Evolver untill you find a nice 
one, than you proram this number in the step on the MD to lock it in 
for automatic selection when you change patterns.

I played a lot with this setup yesterday and it worked perfect.
I didn't have to touch the Evolver so i could focus on the MD.
I changed al lot of patterns on the MD and the evolver changed 
patterns with it exactly as i wanted.
When i muted track 16 the MD the Evolver mutes too!(MSR setting)
You can tweak the evolver if you want, it won't be reset by the 
program change.

Enjoy!
