===============
overall, it sounds great. for people who don't have a PC1600, might there
be a way to use the display to show what group of parameters is
selected... "En1", "LFO2", "OSC2", "FILTER", etc? i'm thinking it would be
great if that flashed on the display for 2-3 seconds, or until a parameter
is edited.
also, for people who don't have a PC1600, maybe CC22 should ignore the low
bits; if i had to use my evolution (MK249c) to select 0-16 with a small
knob that has a range of 0-127 it would kinda suck. ignoring the low bits
(and using the high bits) would give better control in that situation.
best of all would be adding a second CC to adjust the "edit bank" (or
whatever you want to call it); one that works as you described (for
software and PC1600's) and one that works as i described, for most
hardware controllers.
i haven't gone over the rest of the math, but that's my biggest concern
and it's not that big, since i have a PC1600x.
