So.. I'm looking for some software that will allow me to easily recall self-made patches on my hardware synths. K2500, MKS-80, Oberheim Matrix-1000, Novation Nova.

For the most part, I can just use the internal banks on the synths, but I've got TONS of patches and often end up saving rough patches that I need to tweak in order to use.

SoundDiver? Logic Environments? Unisyn? Something new?

The market has been leaving hardware synths behind, so I'm thinking about dedicating an obsolete machine to this task(G3, P3, etc.) Ideally a laptop, but whatever. If the computer could double as a good midi sequencer, that would be cool too.

Any suggestions short of, "move to soft synths?"

I usually commit my hardware synths to audio immediately, so this didn't use to be much of a problem, but I now need session recall for a few projects.
