okay, there seems to be a big design flaw here... I think this will all be
simpler if I have a separate MIDI_Instrument_Controller, loaded in the nib,
which can deal with the table and the Central_MIDI_Controller. Then I'll let
the NSArrayController deal with instances of the MIDIInstrument itself. I'm
going to poke away at this for a bit. Sorry for the spam.
