glad to see the questions aren't getting any easier.

As far as I know the BCR can only do arithmetic series eg 3,6,9,12,15,0,3,6,etc
Assuming these are the values you are interested in you could split the values across more than one button.
0,3,6,9 .minmax 0 9 .mode incval 3
4,7,10 .minmax 4 10 .mode incval 3
13,14,15,16 .minmax 13 16 .mode incval 1
Unlike using easypar, when using tx the values from identical messages won't reset the val in the other buttons.
That is, after pressing button A and outputing a val of 3, if you press button C then value output is not 3 + incval 1 but the old val (or default) of button C + incval 1
So at least you will get predictable results.
Make sure you have the .showvalue on so you can see what you have selected in the display.
Perhaps you can cluster them into meaningful groups. eg if it was the LFO waves - Ramp up & down, sin & tri & square
Running though a a random list like you need is a simple mapping problem on a PC, but I don't know how to do it on the BCR.
All the best
