Thanks Puppeteer!  That gives me a lot to chew on.  I’ve done a little of what you describe, specifically turning sequence out on and viewing the sysex.  I was disappointed to see how much changed in the sysex when I changed the context.  I was hoping there was some secret sauce that made it easier to work with, but I guess that’s not the case.

The other thing I noticed is the ballistics of the encoder appear to change based on the values available for a given parameter, adding more complexity to a solution.
