It's not a 'problem' as such because that's how it works. Like
anything else, you try to exploit it in your own way.

Personally, I find it lends a more organic nature to my work because
each time I start, things are slightly different (unless I reload the
sysex). Actually, this is one thing I do when preparing for a gig
where my musical partner requires the same start-off point each time.
I send the sysex to my other P3. Then at the end of the session, I
just send it back. That way I can run amok - but the next time I play
the same stuff, I might choose to go in a different direction. I'm
building up a repertoire of actual songs thanks to the bank transfer
program thingy. In fact, I was thinking how cool it would be if this
program could name songs and they appeared in the P3 display...

Of course, having enough edit buffers to mess with an entire bank then
only confirm you want to save all the changes when you load a new one
was, as you probably expect, a main request for the P3.5... 8-)

Let's see what happens eh?
