If you've gotten that far, you've got it.

Exactly! You fill in the parts of the data structure that you need, and
clear out
the rest.

That's precisely what I thought too. For the "next up" controller (which
appears
to have a programming interface that's at least as convoluted as this
one), I
could buy 2-3 FCB1010s. I can live with it's quirks. It does what I need.

Yep!
Now...when you get your Repeater, remember that you have to offset the PC
numbers
in the Repeater's manual by one because the FCB uses a different starting
number
(one uses zero, the other uses one, I don't remember which is which right
offhand). It's apparnetly a common thing between MIDI implementations. The
pecular exception seems to be the PC for "Play", I don't know why. CC
numbers
remain the same.
