Art,

There are quite a few "goodies" in .tx that far expand on the .easypar
parameter, not to mention the fact that you can sent multiple MIDI
messages with the one .tx message.
I suspect that the .tx came first and then a simpler version using
easypar was developed. So you can do everthing with .tx that you can
do with .easypar except (as far as I have found - ) the increment
parameter.
You can really only edit the easypar parameter on the BC itself. .tx
is used in the 'Learn' mode, but this only works for buttons.
A PC is needed to use the .tx to its full and I guess that is why it
has been a bit of a secret. From my reading of the internet, very few
people even knew that you could sent sysex out on an encoder.

$encoder 49
  .minmax 0 127
  .default 1
  .tx $F0 $41 $10 $00 $6B $12 $10 $00 $20 $07 val cks-1 6 $F7
  .resolution 96 96 96 96
  .showvalue on
  .mode bar

Moves the volume fader on channel 1 in the mixer section of the FantomX
val is the value of the encoder and cks-1 calculates a checksum.
Very useful stuff!

I am in the middle of writing a .tx doc, but I am away for a few days.
I'll post it when I get back.
