Might be an odd request I know. I have an old Roland SC-55 and I need to be able to change part via midi to actually see the adjustments I make on the SC-55 screen... For example, if part 1 is on the -55's screen and make adjustments to part 1, via midi. I can see the changes on the display. However I I then want to make changes to part 2, I can make the changes ok but I don't have the reassurance of seeing the changes as the happen, unless I go over to the 55 and use the button to change the part on the display... Anyone any ideas?

You could give your entire setup a title (which replaces the default "–SOUND Canvas–"), or display a 16×16 pixel graphic (see p. 78 of the manual). But there is no other mechanism to affect what is shown on the display.

Apparently, parameters should be heard and not seen. 🙂

Thanks Clemens Ladisch... I was afraid that was the case

The frustrating thing is, it seems all the other parameters on the display can be visually changed remotely via midi, as long as I get up and switch the part by hand.
Maybe I'll checkout ebay for an actual remote control
