If you are using sysex to chat with your synth and you want to update the BC to reflect the new parameter values when selecting a new preset then you are out of luck.

The BC will only update the value on a Fader, Encoder or button if it has been programed with an easypar command as as I recall it needs to be CC message.

This is such a common request.
What you need to do is have a PC/Mac in between the BC and the synth.
The BC -> PC and PC -> BC Midi messages need to be CC 
The PC -> Synth and Synth -> PC would be the sysex side.

I thought I would write such a program, but it very difficult (for me at least) to write a program that is general enough to handle the sysex side for a lot of different synths.

Any programmers looking for a cool app to do??

All the best
Royce

Hi
MIDI CC -> PC program convert to sysex -> Sysex for specific synth
There is JSynthLib for this job, I've used it to program sysexdrivers for my Roland SPD11 and Yamaha CS2 and in the meantime I've written my explanations down in a wiki: http://jsynthlib.wikispaces.com
It's Java so, it doesn't run as fast as a C++ program, but for sysexmessages, most synths need more time than the computer.

cheers
