Hi Pablo,

looks good, but it fails my DW6k to 8K program port as it has groups.
This needs major changes in the code to display the values on on the screen.

You can have that layout with parameter feed back by just reprogramming the BCR.
You should grab the text document on the testers page that gives the CC type and range for each parameter.
You do loose the displayed values being in the right place, so I guess you would need to ignore the PC screen.

When the group buttons (top right) are used to 'page' in a new top row of encoders the BCR does this internally and doesn't send any Midi out to indicate that the group has been changed so the program can never detect a change.
I could add 3 extra rows of encoder values and labels at the top I guess, but I suspect it would get confusing.
I guess I could wait till one of the top row controls moved and then I would know that the group has changed.

I did a version of groups where the BCR put out CC values for the 4 group buttons instead of changing internally and I changed all the display values in the program. 
I then found it more convenient to use the 4 lower buttons.
It was done for a 4 op Yamaha synth TQ5. BCR<=>TQ5

The top row was used for operator parameters and as there are 4 op it was perfect.
Have a look at the video.
It works well but was a lot of extra coding.

All the best
