The thing here is that I prefer to use external knobs rather than

As for flexibility. If we stick to the NRPN's for a moment, we could
think of them as a huge switch-board with 127*127 destinations (msb*lsb)
each capable of holding a 14bit value. Their meaning is what we want or
need them to be. To me this seems like a flexible enough starting point.
As for applying meaning to bit-patterns, that would depend on the
application. My own variables comes in multiples of 8 or 4 so that helps
in remembering what and where they are.

same... i know deep down Jens you are actually an intelligent guy from
your other posts, but you really must think in a very different way to
me. This looks really, really horrible compared to osc and
fantastically inflexible. Especially for the original goal of this
thread, engine and gui process separation... communicating between
engine and gui in midi just doesn't seem nice...
