FWIW, I'm working on some Elektron librarian software that will
eventually allow pattern editing.  The main focus is to allow you
to archive all of your old songs, patterns and kits and then pick
and choose from several archives to construct the MD (and
eventually MnM) memory however you choose.  It will also allow
you to place several songs into one song for better live playback.
And eventually it will allow you to edit your songs, patterns and
kits from within the software.  Though this isn't the focus; so that
functionality will be last to be implemented.  Currently, you can
only view the contents of patterns/songs/kits.

Oh and it will run on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux!  Though
there is, of course, a tradeoff.  The interface is not nearly as
beautiful as Andrew's; it's much more generic.  And there
will likely not be direct MIDI transfer support; you'll have to use
a Sysex transfer tool and then load the file in my software.

Anyway, it's coming along; I'll make more announcements
when there's something to show/test.
