Okay still dont see why they couldn't program it to learn a range, turning the knobs through its entire range of motion will transmit a full range its not rocket science to program.

No, there is no learn function. It would be impossible for it to learn that way b/c for a lot of these values, you have to input a RANGE of values. Since at any one given time, a knob or slider will send the value of the position it's at , at that moment. So the board won't know what range of values unless you specify.
What you describe is usually the other way around. Most software instruments have a learn function based on the paramter you send from your controller. Not usually the other way around.
I have to say, the flexibility of this keyboard, the build quality, the software support, and the ability to load many different configs at will, have made this my best purchase yet ... (next to the evolver of course :) )

Doesnt edirol have a learn function? where you can adjust the parameters on the machine and the controller automatically learns what to control?
If not then this is quite disappointing, i would expect more intelligence from these devices.
