5 The Evolution Librarian Software

About the Evolution Librarian Software

The Evolution Librarian Software is a Windows PC librarian program developed for M-

Audio products. The program not only works with the Keystation Pro 88 keyboard, but is

also compatible with other M-Audio USB controllers in the Evolution series. The

Librarian allows you to exchange patches between Evolution products that are

supported by the Librarian, so you never have to create the same patch twice.

The librarian allows you to send and receive 10 patches, load and save memory banks,

view how individual patches have been programmed, and drag and drop patches in

order to create new combinations in the 10 memory locations.
