The Evolution Librarian Software

About The Evolution Librarian Software

The Evolution Librarian Software is a Windows PC librarian program developed for Evolution products. The program not only works with the MK-
425C/449C/461C keyboards but is also compatible with the Evolution UC-33e USB controller. That means you can use one librarian package for both 
your keyboard and your controller, if you own a UC-33e. 

And even better, you can swap patches between Evolution products that’s supported by the Librarian so you never have to create the same patch 
twice.

The librarian itself, allows you to send and receive the 10 patches to and from the MK-425C/449C/461C, 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.

Installing The Evolution Librarian Software

1.   Insert the Evolution Installer CD-ROM in to your CD-ROM drive.
