Title: Web-Based USB Access

It's safe to say that I'll be keeping an eye on this:

Eventually, this could allow things like waveform dumps directly into an Evolver, without needing to download a file and transfer that file via a MIDI application.

More broadly, this could blow open the doors of patch sharing and online editing for pretty much any synth out there with the help of a web-enabled MIDI interface. There are currently some technical barriers, and the security needs to be hashed out, but it's an easy bet that something like this is coming.
