Perhaps you should try out Soundiver. There's a free Beta version at the emagic site.

>Perhaps you should try out Soundiver. There's a free Beta version at the >emagic site. Can Sounddiver handle softsynth patches? I haven't used Sounddiver in a long long time. But, if I am using a software synth I shouldn't have to open a second piece of software to get more efficient access to patches. What I was referring to (in my original post) is the fact that some hardware synths handle patch access reasonably well. The Korg Triton (and its big touch screen) comes to mind. Softsynths have a potentially unmatchable advantage in this area, but the Emagic synths don't utilize this advantage. Dave
