You can certainly set up the button encoders on the the top row.
The Button part for the parameter select and the encoder as B8 06 val.
Although it means all the encoders are the same and therefore redundant, the user interface would be simpler.
You get 4 groups of 8, so that is 32 parameters at least.
The two rows of switches give you another 16 and then you can use any top row encoder for the value.
Have the other controls for CC messages.
You can halve the bytes by programming the encoder to output one message if turned clockwise and another if it is turned counterclockwise.
.tx ifp B8 06 val ifn B8 63 00 62 xx 06 val
xx is the NRPN parameter number not "xx"
Turn counterclockwise and you get the full message clockwise you get just the value.
Not good bet workable.
The ideal for a lot of these old synths is an interpreting program in between.
The BC outputting CC messages to give the parameter number in a map and a value to change into a NRPN.
Then you can, of course, get the computer to request the bulk data and send out CC messages to the BC and it will sync up to the synth.
