Controllers have standardized numbers - e.g. 7 is "master volume" - so the main issue isn't really that a single device has more than 127 controllers (although yes, some DO), but that there are more than 127 different kinds of controllers in the world. It's made worse by the fact that a single controller number only handles a 7-bit value, so if you need finer granularity than that, you need to assign two or more of the 127 controller numbers to the more and less significant chunks of a finer-grained value. And it's also true that controller numbers ended up being used for other things, such as selecting banks for the separate "program change" messages. The namespace of 127 controllers ran out very fast. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
