true. now if it were being used to try and MIDI sequence the Xpander, I'd say no way in hell...but since it's just being used to send patch/sysex data and control parameters, it may still be useable as long as you are not expecting fluid realtime response.?
let us know how it turns out.

I agree there will be delays, but I'm able to download firmware via
USB from Windows 7 in Parallels running on OSX 10.6,
to microcontroller development boards that are external to the machine.
Granted it's not a midi device, but a straight USB interface is likely
more demanding than Midi.
Also, Xpander patches are sent/received via sysex, which is extremely
slow to begin with.
Give it a try- I'd be interested in your results. Just make sure that
you assign the USB device to the VM, so that it
doesn't get assigned to OSX..
I may just try this myself.
