Ah, I just thought that was one of your many proposals.  I don't 
understand your complaint though; you never need to subclass widgets, 
and you need to write lots of IParamModel classes anyway.

Since you want to decode and encode your sysex all at once, you need to 
extend IPatch, not Patch.  You can then hide your byte array, and 
require all access to go through getByte, getInt, etc.  I believe Driver 
is the place where you'd instantiate your new patch class.

You're other suggestion make for an interesting new design (and I'm 
guessing the XML package is going that way) but aren't critical to your 
current driver.
