Ok, I understand your problem. Partially I think this a question of missing documentation and tutorials. :-/ MusE relies on it's instrument definition files (IDF) to figure out what controllers are available for a given instrument. If you define an IDF file for your instrument, or try one of the existing files, for example if your synth is GM compatible use that and the relevant controllers should appear. The drawback with this approach is that it does not work very well with instruments that can redefine their controllers, e.g. modular synths. But as you have discovered MusE understands and can edit an existing controller outside the IDF definition, hence it should be possible to add support for arbitrary controllers. > > > [Manipulate the parts] > > > Could you give som examples of what you mean? > > Yes :).

Some small bell tingles but I cannot place it what the exact problem is, memory is not what it used to be ...
