just wantd to update this the matrix editor I found won't convert diver patch librarys same with midiqust demo and only the midiquest XL 9 (299list price) seems to convert libraries. gotta crawl back behind the racks and reconnect my miditimepiece to my os9 mac and reload everything cause divr x toasted all my patches somehow. :( more sounddiver bummer... it won't let me leave it.
