Thanks for the replies. As I said, I'm really looking for a MIDI-something like Slicy Drummer that can play ANY drum sampler (Battery, Kontakt or Dimension Pro with Kits loaded) - or even software synths. (I've "written" some interesting things playing drum MIDI patterns through pitched synths.) My favorite drum kits are in Battery, so I need something to run it for me.
The nice thing about Slicy Drummer is it gives a good visual of what the pattern is going to be, the patterns are nicely categorized, etc. The GUI is a little outdated, but...

I've always wondered how you are supposed to take a gigantic bundle of MIDI drum loops (I've bought quite a few) and figure out how to really sort through them and find something right for what you're working on. Tips?
