Would it be possible that when switching between combinator patches, and when the devices are the same in comparison between patch A) and B) - it wouldn't need to load the devices every time?

Sure but probably actually *loading* the device doesn't that that much time, much more applying the settings, loading samples etc. so I guess it wouldn't result in much of a performance gain.

But if you did that you'd introduce a lot of relatively complicated code that on top of that depends on a lot of things to "be that way" to work. Like it wouldn't be a self-contained part of Reason but it would have to control different other parts in Reason so when they change your code could break as well etc. etc.

All in all I guess thats why it's probably not really worth it. But possible, yes.

I have made lots of combis whereas the buttons are programmed to quickly change values and at least there, it doesn't take almost any loading time. I could program it to change 100 things and it's still fast. But thanks FYI.
