indeed all makes sense, i was simply thinking of end use rather than the journey, being non coder man..
the quicker the method the more use it'll get of course, seems nice and easy to (mod)click a bunch of params and have them appear on the controller - right now we can click one param and it appear, and it would be a bit like an osc-type development of 'learn last touched parameter' - to get that to four or 8 isn't that hard maybe.
perhaps devs will consider and save you some fiddling.
the example of being able to control reaEQ is a good one, as 1st 3 params control just 1 band, can get non-useful v quickly.
