I remember Texture. I used it a lot till I changed to Voyetra SeqPlus

This is discussed in e my BCSecret.pdf in the group section or in the document section of the Wiki

To keep the brass mix, set the instrument faders to CC7 volume instead of CC11 and use CC11 for the group - or the reverse

Use the standard easypar for the Instruments CC7

For the group fader you will need to use the tx method. With tx you can have multiple messages. Anything up to 125 bytes

If you are using Mark's editor this is the Learned area
I'll give it to you in the script form as that is what I usually use with my editor.

$rev F1
$fader 1 ; group
  .showvalue on
  .default 100  ; position when you first select the preset
  .minmax 0 127
  .tx $B0  11 val    ; channel 1
  .tx $B1  11 val    ; channel 2
  .tx $B2  11 val    ; channel 3
  .tx $B3  11 val    ; channel 4

;the extra faders 2 to 5 in here

.end

You can put the group message in a single line
  .tx $B0  11 val    $B3  11 val    $B2  11 val   


As you push up fader 1

$B0  11 0
$B1  11 0
$B2  11 0
$B3  11 0

$B0  11 1
$B1  11 1
$B2  11 1
$B3  11 1

$B0  11 2
$B1  11 2
$B2  11 2
$B3  11 2

$B0  11 3
$B1  11 3
$B2  11 3
$B3  11 3
etc

Hope this helps
