Greetings:
  This is a precaffeinated message. You have been warned.
  I own a Yamaha MJC8 MIDI patch bay. It's very nice, but alas, it does

nothing more than route connections. I would have preferred a

programmable patch bay. Such devices included many amenities for the

MIDI user, including channel control, scene memory, autoscanning

hardware, etc. Personally, I'd like to see such features in a software

MIDI patch bay. I'd also like to see something like a software MEP4 (a

MIDI event processor box), but again its features could be incorporated

into a programmable patch bay.
  At this time, it's either all or nothing with MIDI channels. Very

frustrating when I want to use my TX802 on Ch 1, *only* Qsynth's drums

on Ch 10, and ZynAddSubFX on Ch 5. The synths do in fact include their

own channel selector, but the 802 is multitimbral and I often leave it

in an 8-channel (8 instruments) configuration. So if I have a connection

scene that includes Qsynth and the 802, everything on those eight

channels gets played by Qsynth, but I don't want that to happen.
  So, can it be done ? I tried using holborn's SoundFontCombi but

couldn't get it to keep the settings I made. Every time I started

playing a sequence it would flip back to its original state. Sigh...
Best,
