So when programming the Six-Trak locally the user enters in a value from 0-15, but when controlling it remotely the user sends values from 0-127 which the Six-Trak interprets as 0-15.  Make sense?

Okay, I did some homework and this appears to be control resolution issue (i.e., different controls have different operating resolutions).  The Fine Tune control is a 5-bit control and a switch is a 1-bit control, etc.

I had hoped that if I switched over to sending sysex messages instead of cc messages, I could set the number of bits in the control and thus bring the BCR and the Six-Trak into the same numeric realm.  But that doesn't seem to be working.

For one thing, I'm not clear on what "Value" setting in BC Manage correlates to what bit resolution.  The value settings are listed as 
Value, Value: bits 0-6, Value: bit 0, etc.  I tried them all and none allowed me to synchronize the numbers.

Any suggestions?  I would think this would be a common issue.

Thanks.
