The TG77 has anbout 1200 parameters.
How many can be controlled without sysex?
For 6 operators one could step back to 12 Parameters:
frequency and amplitude.
But in reality you have ONLY modulation, this can be routet
to operator output amplitude only.
This is limiting.
And I think other machines are NOT much better.

You see it from your controller perspective.
But I don't want a controller.
I want to draw (or type) any modulation I want,
and it should go as fast as audio waves go,
bandwidth 20kHz.
This would be resonable and could yield very interesting
effects.
But I think there is no hardware and no software to
do this, except C-Sound or directly C or BASIC or whatever.
