Sorry to insist on this, but (and I'm quite sure Mike has already thought of this) we could use both axis of the joystick (to scroll thru parameters AND to edit values) and also, a good way to scroll would be: one push to the left/right/up/down and back to the joystick in rest-centered-position would alter the value in one step. Holding the joystick in one of the end positions, conversely, would allow for more or less rapid change in values/parameters... makes any sense? We could also add the absoulte min-max values on top of that?
 
thanks Mike for your patience and amazing job!

i don't know about others, but i would actually prefer to have
joystick set ABSOLUTE parameter value instead of relative (joystick
extreme left = 0, extreme right = max value) ... like... if you are
holding down the bank button, then the joystick sets the absolute
param value. wouldn't that be the quickest way to set a value? at
least approximate value, since the joystick resolution probably isn't
that great.

cheers,
jure
