Well, you can easily change patches mid-song as long as you don't require tight timing for the change. If you want to change a patch from #100 to #67 mid-song on the same track, as long as there's a beat or two in-between when you need the sound, it works just fine. You can insert a "patch change command" in the middle of any track in Protools (or just about any other sequencer as well).

Just one more thing: Soundiver isn't another application like DP, Logic, or Protools. It's a utility-like program that you use at various times just for making and storing patches on your synth/workstation. That's all it really does. Once you've figured out how to do some basic programming directly on your synth, librarians like Soundiver are pretty easy to learn. In fact, they can often making programming your synth a lot easier because they show your synth parameters in a graphical format instead of numbers and you can see more on your computer screen than on the smaller displays on most workstations.

I don't know what it costs these days, but it's a LOT less than a full-out DAW software package.
