that's a very good idea... that needs more investigation. Most of the knobs have a midi CC but wondering if all have one...

Why not eventhough the idea behind this app is only to decipher the bytes inside program files.
I'd better have the option of this app to analyse a full bundle and identify the programs that have common parameters, or say 1 parameter difference (for i.e. transpose). I have plenty of same programs in different locations with different names & exact same parameters and would like to spot them quickly.

I once worked on a program to do a similar thing with DX7 patches (there are tons in the net and *many* are duplicated with just a different name). The main problem I encountered was that the comparison needs to have some sort of intelligence to work out whether the parameters actually make a difference to the final sound. For example, the settings in the synth section do not really matter if that section is switched off, so actually very different patches might still sound exactly the same.
