Hi Audun, Thank you for answering. The idea is to provide the JSM with a patch and synth (and other metadata) database, and a mechanism for sequencers to connect to and query the database. So patch selection will happen in the sequencer in the classical sense: I think that contradicts to

The minimum the abstraction layer would do, is automatic switching between profiles. One per environment. This way you would not have to adapt everything on each iteration of working on a project in turns. So the idea is to decouple patch selection from the sequencers. A sequencer would just
