checked out your webpage. found some wonderful (& some playful) 
envrmt. patches. 

Now it's got me thinking: seeing as the envrmt. is so flexible, 
isn't there some way to, say, go from a channel splitter to 
transformers (8 for each channel), select 1/8 of the 128 possible 
instrument range for each transformer (transformer 1 [cha1] gets 
instr. 1-16, transf.2 gets 17-32, etc.), then transform the 16step-
range of program change numbers (e.g. 17-32) to somehow choose the 
channel on the multichannel exs24 (is that possible?).

So for ex. program change 18 would be transformed to cha2 on the 
second in a row of 8 exs24 (mc).

I know thst means you'd be runnin a whole LOAD of exs 24 
multichannel instances, but there must be a way to work with certain 
SMF standards to cut that down (eg cha10 - drums - never need to set 
that one, except to look for a choice from amongst drum sets, but 
that wouldn't matter, you'd have to do that anyway.)

Plus you'd have to find a way to automatically bypass the exs24 
instances you're not actually using. I mean it sounds like quite an 
undertaking, but... if it's possible, why not?

My question: If i take off down this road, do i have any reasonable 
chance of success, or is this a completely harebrained idea and just 
a waste of time?
