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.
