Thanks for your help!
I still have not done the 14bit thing yet but I do have a working editor using TouchOSC and MAX at this point. Once it is more presentable I will offer it to the public. TouchOSC allows for encoders so that combined with the sysex you so kindly provided means the data wheel can be put on the ipad for fine tuning.
There are two functions I was wondering how to do that are not in that tech note.
1-How to send a command that is the same as holding down the Parameter button? This is for setting up modulation routes. Is there more undocumented sysex strings? Or can this be done by sending the Parameter button string several times with a certain timing?
2-is there any way to select one of the 8 on screen parameters? right now the only way I see is to send its current value which then selects it.
