these are all defaults so you don't need them

$rev R1
$encoder 1
.easypar CC 1 7 0 127 absolute
.mode 1-dot
$end
is a perfectly good and complete BC sysex.
There are somethings you need to send otherwise they are reset though. See Mark's guide for this info.
So you can leave out any $ section
$global
$preset
$encoder x
$button x
$fader x
The $preset stuff applies to all controllers. It is executed in the order it is received in the sysex.
So .init clears everything, then you set up just the controllers you want. All others remain cleared.
If you don't use it it doesn't clear them and you can just change the parameters you want to.
If you send
$preset
.name 'Royce's '
You will just change the name, but if you ask the BC to send back the preset you will get the init, even though it didn't init the preset when you sent it.
This is unlike the other $preset commands that will be reset and their new values will be effective in the buffer.
It is a bit confusing.

Yours .tx $F0 144 46 127 144 46 127 144 46 127 $B0 16 ifp 1 ifn 65 $F7
Where is the ending $F7 if you turn it to the positive
.tx $F0 144 46 127 144 46 127 144 46 127 $B0 16 1 $F7 if positive
.tx $F0 144 46 127 144 46 127 144 46 127 $B0 16 65 $F7 if negative
You need
.tx $F0 144 46 127 144 46 127 144 46 127 $B0 16 ifp 1 $F7 ifn 65 $F7
when using ifp and ifn you need to complete the meesage.
You can have multiple ifp ifn 's
.tx $F0 144 46 127 144 46 127 144 46 127 $B0 16 ifp 1 ifn 65 $F7 ifp$F7
also works
