Cool, let me know how it goes...

> What are its limitations?

- Can't automatically send back to MachineDrum (have to enter SysEx
Receive manually from the Global page on MD)

- Trailing spaces in Kit and Song names show up as funny characters in
SD (but look fine when transferred back to the MD)

- No editor.

Other than that, it works.  It's great for being able to send/receive
single patches or groups of patches instead of having to transfer an
entire bank all at once.  You can selectively mix and match your banks
by loading different pieces into the MD using this.

Already started :)  Just waiting on a little addition information from
Elektron regarding some of the SysEx commands.  From the looks of it,
the MD should be able to receive patches automatically using the $6B
(Set Receive Destination) SysEx command, but for some reason I cannot
get the MD to recognize this one...

Emagic is not giving out the SoundDiver SDK, otherwise I would have
just written a more complete native adaptation for it.  Anyway, a
standalone editor will be more flexible in the long run.

If you wrote an editor, what platform and IDE would you use?  Perhaps
a collaboration could be in order...
