Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Hi Royce

I have just been looking at your lovely parameter feedback system for the DW6000
http://www.bwalk.com.au/DW6K/DW6k.html - quite jealous!

I was wondering a few things, to which the answer may well be - don't be so stupid!

Is it at all feasible to create a template-based version of your software, where the user enters some kind of info (like an ini file?) which defines the relationship between a sysex file and corresponding MIDI CC, for any given instrument.  For example:
- Sysex dump request
- Sysex dump reply header
- the addresses of the data components in the sysex file which correspond with the CC values to be sent to the BCR.

I can see this being very complicated, not least because every  manufacturer's approach sysex is a bit different.  Presumably, there would need to be pre-set BCR definition files for the instrument in place first, so the software knows where to send the CC parameter on the BCR.

Also, you say you chose the DW6000 because it has few parameters, so presumably it would be even more complex if you were trying to spread the parameters over more than one preset page on the BCR...

It is the Yamaha AN1x synth I am most interested in, but it occurred to me that a more open, user-definable system would be great.  However, I'm sure it would be a huge amount of work and probably an even greater amount of (unpaid) trouble-shooting, so not worth the bother.

Just thought I'd ask your opinion anyway :)
