true. now if it were being used to try and MIDI sequence the Xpander, I';d say no way in hell...but since it's just being used to send patch/sysex data and control parameters, it may still be useable as long as you are not expecting fluid realtime response.

let us know how it turns out.

I agree there will be delays, but I'm able to download firmware via

Granted it's not a midi device, but a straight USB interface is likely
more demanding than Midi.

Also, Xpander patches are sent/received via sysex, which is extremely
slow to begin with.

Give it a try- I'd be interested in your results. Just make sure that
you assign the USB device to the VM, so that it
doesn't get assigned to OSX..

I may just try this myself.
