Crow,
don't know where in the world you are, but I am in debt with you!

Thanks again.

Riccardo

    I don't know exactly, but I'll give an educated guess:

    There are 16 bytes per patch.  Presuming the bytes are stored in RAM in 
  their hardware address order, you have:

    1st byte: Effect Speed/Intensity knob
    2nd byte: Filter Fc knob
    3rd byte: Filter EG intensity knob
    4th byte: Filter Q (resonance) knob
    5th byte: Attack knob
    6th byte: Decay knob
    7th byte: Sustain knob
    8th byte: Release knob
    9th byte: Filter keyboard tracking knob
  10th byte: PW/PWM knob
  11th byte: PWM speed knob
  12th byte: MG (LFO) speed knob
  13th byte: MG delay knob
  14th byte: MG level knob

  15th byte: switch bits for VCO oct (2 bits), waveform (2 bits),
              subosc mode (2 bits) and MG destination (2 bits).

  16th byte: switch bits for EG VCA mode (1 bit), effect mode (2 bits),
              attenuator (4 bits).

    I don't know exactly which bit values mean which setting for the
  switches.  Best way to figure that out is just a little trial and error.

    The 14 knob values are at 8-bit resolution.

    Hope this helps,

  Crow
