Q: I began to assume they were ref#'s meant for the firmware and not actual MIDI CC's.
A: I shall revise the document. It is confusing.

Q: I'm guessing it wouldnt be too terribly difficult to assign parameters to open CC#'s thru code alterations?
A: Adding some additional CC's for specific parameters is quite easy. But as I posted just now, it is impossible to map every parameter to a specific CC because there just are not enough available CC's. It's a MIDI limitation. And that is why RPN's and NRPN's were implemented in the MIDI specification.

Q: NRPN is a great tool... it's just had to make me completely readjust my gameplan for a custom controller project I've been slowly putting together.
I'll get it working with NRPN, it just might not have all the features I thought I could design into it.
A: I don't see why using NRPN's would limit you.

Q: On another note, I finally ordered some encoders, D flipflops and quad bi lat switches. I should have a working data dial to put in a Poly here in about a week ;)
A: Cool, I'd like to see that.
