Switching Knob Functionlity on the Fly Via Sysex Commands

Switching Knob Functionlity on the Fly Via Sysex Commands

2003-12-28 by steve_the_composer

NOTE:  This is a revised except from another post.  I have placed it 
here under a separate subject (1) because it was really OT from the 
other thread and (2) to make the topic easier to find and discuss.
==================================================================
It would seem from the Sysex manual (2.2) you can use sysex commands 
change the functionality of EACH/ANY of the 16 programable knobs on 
the fly.  Evidently you can send sysex commands to change the 
following programable knob parameters:

(1) CC# (1-119)
(2) midi channel (0-31, -1 for basic channel)
(3) destination (internal, external, both, sequencer).

I suppose if someone has an external controller (e.g., foot 
controller, computer, etc.) that outputs sysex, you can use this to 
reassign the functionality of any or all of the programmable knobs 
without having to do a complete multisetup swap.

Hope this solution either (1) solves some problem or (2) opens up new 
possibilities.
