Hehe. I would like feedback on this issue as well as I have my 
multisetup the same way. I, like yourself found it unusable because 
of the knob range like you describe. Basically I could only either 
use Preset(all the way left) or Send 4(all the way right). What would 
be great is if you could say, assign an individual program knob to a 
send. So Program Knob A would control Send 1, Program Knob B would 
control Send 2 etc. That's why I've always liked Rolands groove boxes 
because of their effects tweakability on the surface. What is techno 
without being able to freak the effects live? Oh well, I still 
couldnt part with the 7 at this point. Back to the lab.
