	This capability exists in my software GrainWave.  You can save what I
call a MIDI Snapshot, which is the current controller values for all 16
channels.  These can be saved as a file, and then reloaded.  I would be
happy to make the file format available if anyone else wnated to support
it.  But for now, unless you are using GrainWave, it isn't much help. 
You would need to have explicit support for the format within the
program you wanted to use it in.  (BTW, if that program is CSound, this
capability would be easy to add).
