Has anyone attempted to come up with a common/standardized default parameter layout to map the most commonly used parameters to the same encoder/button destinations across multiple presets? I'm looking to turn my BCR2000 into a Kiwi Patch Editor so that it the same encoder will control the same parameter as you switch from preset to preset to control synthesizer to synthesizer. I know this will have to be done on a preset by preset basis, but has anyone already laid the groundwork to determine the most common parameter locations or have already done this on some presets? It seems like the Kiwi PE just took the layout of the PG-800 and disables any parameters that aren't available for a given synth/preset.

If this is too much of a hassle then I'll probably go the Kiwi PE route but I think this would be really cool because I could get parameter value feedback as you change patches (unlike the PE which only lights up which parameters are editable -- not the values themselves -- from my understanding). I was then thinking of adding images under the encoders for all parameters that don't go up to full scale to denote multiple states (much like the PG-800 oscillator waveforms, Chorus Modes, etc.). My goal would be so that you can edit pretty much any synth without having to look at the synth/module itself for most of the common parameters and you could tell what state its in simply by the button and encoder LEDs and the LED digit/character display would be used for finer control/resolution.
