Well, if he needs this functionality in a sequencer, then maybe he needs to 
send sys-ex in real-time, in which it would be mighty convenient to have it 
in the sequencer. But then of course you need replacable parameters, etc.

Or even if it's just downloading in bulk before the sequence starts, I can't 
see why you _wouldn't_ want this capability in the sequencer.  Why make more 
work for the user?
