right, but I was addressing the issue of non-freely assignable CC's in 
combination
with a few Sysex-controllable parameters. it's more general - you 
wouldn''t
need a new controller bank in your MIDI controller for every program in 
the
Evo; a single one would do it in most cases (unless you require the 
sysex
functionality).  I would prefer this method, though I understand your 
desire for
the freely-assignable variety of control as well.
