yeah that's a way around that particular pain in the buttocks. fortunately
most of the real time tweak parameters are in A and under 119, so no
worries. controller routing is fun!

actually, this is something the JL Cooper Synapse (and it's predecessor MSB
16/20) and to some extent the Opcode Studio 5LX all seemed to do very well -
custom controller assignments without having to "futz in the gutz" of the
synths themselves. i used to have a MOTU Micro Express way back when and it
also had a nice bit of programmability for routings of all sorts of fun
stuff.

i prefer using the XL-7 as the knobulator only because it has many of them
and is the hub of my current setup, and the only MIDI input is connected to
the XP-30 for fun keyboard control. i route the assignable sliders on the
XP-30 to the fun stuff (cutoff, resonance, modulation - cause that paddle
thingy sucks, quite frankly) and it all seems to work out in the end.
