need for something like that to be rather less nowadays
(certainly I do nearly everything with software synths and I
can't conceive of a way to set them all up automatically at the
beginning of a song without using a fairly rigid framework like
Buzz on the PC where you do all your sound generation internally
or using plugins, nothing like ALSA or Jack), but there was a
time when it was very necessary. Necessary as in "Oh my god, I
have 700 banks on this floppy, which one was I using when I
wrote this song?!"
lol! so true.
but as any half-decent midi sequencer already, has the
inate ability to send and receive sysex, i beleive ladcca is (will be) a
more general solution, ie it will load your arrangement tool, jackd, all
softsynths etc and load the correct data into them at the press of a
button.
