Best way to use sounddiver with Ableton 6 & Virus C

[tonematrix]

How do you guys manage all the patches you have?

Not sure how different it is for TI users, I'm using a C.
I sorted all my patches in sounddiver, but I have way too many.
So many, they would fill up all the banks and I'd still have some left out.

I'm trying to be able to have access to most of the patches in Ableton Live. I've just recently got into using multimode so that's why I'm wondering how most of you deal with patches midi-wise in Ableton.

Do you make separate banks?
One bank, full of bass sounds? One bank full of leads?
I wish sounddiver would integrate simultaneously with Live.
Is that possible? Am I missing something?
Anyway, thanks for any help/guidance and sorry if this has been asked before.
Thanks

I usually sort banks first and formost by the project/band that I'm using them for...each project gets a seperate bank. For stuff that I haven't used in any sort of published material, but appears in some song I'm noodling with or is something interesting I want to hang onto for future use, I have a few banks that I load up with those. I don't try and keep those organized in any particular fashion. I guess they would be organized by date created :)

cool thanks, yea i guess i'll probably end up doing that.
I just wish I could have ableton communicate with sounddiver so I didn't have to separate everything into banks.

thanks again for the quick reply

I must admit this is the reason that I sold my Virus C. The lack of sysex in Ableton meant that I had so save off seperate files and then load them seperately each time I worked o na project. I know that I am getting lazy nowadays as the integration and total recall of using VSTi's has meant that I can't be bothered loading and saving patches anymore.
I am though going to replace my C and use the Total integration side of the Ti to get the best of both worlds, just gotta find one now at a reasonable price; they are still so expensive 2nd hand.
