I was under the impression that Cal had taken it out of the RT thread - could
of course be wrong there. With a mega-patch you can certainly see quite a long
delay in updating the UI - for a start the bargraph freezes (so at least that
part must be outside RT), but there is no interruption in the sound.

within most setups of the last 10 years or so?
In discussion we also quickly came to the conclusion that holding even one bank
in memory was a non-starter. However, we were mulling over the possibility of
double buffering so the whole voice modification thing could be done outside the
RT thread then just (in theory) a few pointers swapped at the right moment.

ran out of time though :(
The other half of the equation is that both the DB and my suggestion provide a
seamless, and backward compatible way to get the patches in a form that is
easily exposed to MIDI control.
