Subject: Ranged vs. Absolute Values

I saw the mention of defaulting to Absolute CC/NRPN controller values.
I prefer the Ranged values.
First since the GUI I am making has all been set up for Ranged values.. not only the actual GUI knobs, but also all the LUA scripting that fetches every pair of bytes in a patch dump and then converts the values from absolute to ranged.
Second. Most controllers I have are sliders/pots with endpoints vs. endless encoders. Plus there are toggling momentary switches.
Most controllers want to set a ON/OFF parameter to be 0/127 values.
PS-
Getting VERY CLOSE to updating the GUI I had partially working a few years ago.
Updates include MkII effects controls, Atomahawk controls, dynamic Envelope Generator graphics with Inverted EG3 display and a COPY DCO1 EG to DCO2 EG feature.
The cool part is it will automatically set all the controls every time you change the patch by selecting the number via the GUI console. Very quickly you can see what waveform goes to which modulator/LFO, SLFO, DCO, etc.. It just about eliminates the need to look up the parameter reference since most controls are self explanatory.
