a question, about sysex vs nrpn

can the same parameter numbers be used irrespective of whether you
are using sysex or nrpn ? if the device responds to both.

or are they completely separate? or is it device-dependent ?
how about the Hawk? originally Mike was using NRPNs, and
then we got the sysex implementation recently.

re: NRPNs, i saw a report the other day where a panel using NRPNs
was having problems with sending multiple control messages (to a
esq1, it's the esq1 panel - worth checking out, to see how nrpns are
done) - he was crashing his esq1, and it seemed like the messages
were getting mixed up, with data#6 remaining associated with the
previous CC 98/99 message - which is where i remember reading
stuff about 'NRPN Null' messages, to have at the end of each NRPN
series/message. and i also see that the Novation Remote SL can deal
with NRPNs 'automatically', and wonder if it wraps its messages with
a NRPN Null at the end ( - if you see why i'm mentioning this...)
