You're right about this, imo.  I've got a UW and am also about 100%  
in Live these days for software.  The sequencer itself is identical  
between the two devices.  I don't use it to control Live, however, I  
am just confirming that there would be no difference when it comes to  
midi triggering.   On the other hand, you could run the output of  
Live back through the UW RAM inputs and reprocess it if you were so  
inclined.

Also, parameter locks are not really true midi CC's, as far as I  
remember.  They are internal to the sequencer.  The concept seems  
simple but once you feel them in action they're pretty wicked.  i am  
not familiar with the sequencers on the quasimidi, etc, that  you  
mentioned so I cannot make a comparison.  Essentially you can just  
hold down an event button and dial in a setting for that trigger  
using the knobs, based obviously on what settings page is up.
