Re: BCR-2000 & Roland D-50

My observation is that when we have to control a synthesizer, with an oscillator or two, a common filter / one or two envelopes etc. then it is not so important to make use of the intermediate software, as we can understand what about is the value of the setting we change (of the patch we intend to edit), by moving the assigned knob right or left. That's why the PG programmers of Roland had success.
The problem appears when a Synthesizer is more complicated, with many layers and parameters, such as the Roland D50, the Kawai K1/K4, the Korg Wavestation, the JV-880 etc... In this case an editor seems the best go.
In order to avoid the use of editors, mainly for real-time sound manipulating purposes, I was wondering if there could be an application, like your standalone apps, that could be edited by users to setup the parameters for each button/slider etc. in both directions (from synth to app to bcr and from bcr to app to synth).
