Cool, thanks...

How long is a while?  The data size of Kits and Patterns is fairly
large, but I can transfer and entire bank of Kits in around 15-20
seconds on my machine.  You can try adjusting the send delay parameter
in SoundDiver to see if that helps - I purposefully set it a little
high to ensure data would not get sent too fast and break the
connection.

Let me know what you setup is like, and maybe we can test a few things
and see if things can be sped up on your system.

I doubt it.  MachineDrum uses 4 MIDI channels for its CCs...
SoundDiver doesn't handle this using the Global Adaptation AFAIK.
This sort of thing is easier handled in a standalone editor or in
Logic's environment.

Agreed.  Tactile control is one of the best advantages of hardware
based synths :)  There are a few things to be said for a flexible
editor, though...  such as Randomization of patch parameters, flexible
and cascaded data entry, etc.  For instance, it would be very cool to
be able to tell the editor, "I like this drum sound, create 25
variations for me by automatically modifying the following
parameters..."  See where I am going with this?

Let me about your SoundDiver Setup...  talk to you later...
