EFM VST/AU/Standalone editor/plugin?

Is this even possible with the EFM? It would be super useful. Even with the EFM's big screen, having direct access to all parameters and being able to automate or control them inside a DAW or via any MIDI capable software/hardware like sequencers and such would surely be welcomed by many.

It's a pity that nobody has replied to this post before. It's a good suggestion. I'm happy enough editing patches on the EFM, but I do also think that it would open it up more and would help my editing. This question was the subject of a request on the forum a couple of years ago, and the answer then was it might one day as part of a future update once the Sysex set-up was more fully developed. I can't see that anything has happened since then.

What would also help me at the moment would be a librarian. I loaded all my voice spaces up and, having auditioned them, want to keep about 800 of the 3,328 (so many DX voices are duplicated, as you'll all know) and move them to the first six banks so that I can be properly organised. Because the ones I would like to keep are dotted around - maybe 35 or 40 per bank - it would have been really helpful to be able to whizz through it using any of the free SYX librarians available online. But saving/exporting a bank of voices means generating an EFM file, rather than a SYX file, and so I can't do it. I can't find a utility that will convert EFMs to SYX, either.

In many ways, the patch organisation is good on the EFM, because I can move voices and patches around with them losing their associations with each other. But this is different - to drag/swap each of the 800 voices (plus the 250 patches I want to keep) one by one will take a long, long time. If anyone has a better suggestion, I'd be grateful to hear it.

I totally support the idea: I was about to ask the very same question: How cool would it be if you could control the Kodamo from your DAW and automate changes in effects. Chowning would love it.

Oh yes!
An editor "à la Arturia MiniFreak" or "Korg Multi/Poly style" would be really great and educational (more global visualization on a large screen).
This would be a real complement to the touchscreen.
