[A6] SoundDiver and the a6

This is an idea for Cyril:

Seeing as you want to edit and presumably automate parameters of patches 
using your computer (I can see why this might be nice), can't you set up 
the Logic environment to handle all of this?  SD seems best suited as a 
librarian.

The biggest problem I have with the current SD adaptation is that I 
can't click on a patch and hear it play on my A6, and that's why I asked 
about it in the first place.

Cheers,
Chris
