I'm a bit confused here. I don't see how you CAN go though all the Zyn
presets - or are you really meaning the voice/patch banks?

As you can create any voices and banks of voices that you like 'All'
becomes a piece of elastic!

Also, as far as I know there is no way to get MIDI messages to change
voices, and I don't believe Paul has any intention of doing that.
