great post, man. but I think it would be easy to chuck out 7 different 
parameters
(therefore leaving you with the 120 possible on the MIDI channel) that
*more-than-likely* nobody will want to tweak in realtime. for example, 
pretty
much all of the destination parameters can be thrown out - I'm 
*guessing* that most
people don't change their routing options in realtime.  and if they do, 
then leave
the ones that are likely to be changed in realtime - like OSC and LFO 
maybe - and
eliminate some of the others. you should be able to find seven of them 
pretty easily.

am I wrong? am I missing something? I understand that you shouldn't 
alienate
anyone by leaving out parameters they may find useful. but surely the 
leftover
and less often used parameters can be assigned via Sysex then (instead 
of
everything via Sysex as it is now).
