Hey James,
I would do it this way:
Modify the nib file containing the MIDIInstrument so that FilesOwner is class 
Central_MIDI_Controller.
Create an outlet on MIDIInstrument which would point to Central_MIDI_Controller.
In IB, wire up the outlet from MIDIInstrument to FilesOwner.
Finally change the code which loads the nib containing MIDIInstrument to pass 
the one instance of Central_MIDI_Controller as the FilesOwner.
The unarchiving process will handle connecting up the bits at runtime.
HTH,
M.
